Habakkuk 2:2-5
English Standard Version
The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith
2 And the Lord answered me:
(A)“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still (B)the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, (C)wait for it;
(D)it will surely come; it will not delay.
4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but (E)the righteous shall live by his faith.[a]
5 “Moreover, wine[b] is (F)a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.[c]
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death (G)he has never enough.
(H)He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

New International Version
The Lord’s Answer
2 Then the Lord replied:
“Write(A) down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald[a] may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;(B)
it speaks of the end(C)
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait(D) for it;
it[b] will certainly come
and will not delay.(E)
4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person(F) will live by his faithfulness[c](G)—
5 indeed, wine(H) betrays him;
he is arrogant(I) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,(J)
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive(K) all the peoples.
