The vision will still happen at the appointed time.
    It hurries toward its goal.
    It won’t be a lie.
    If it’s delayed, wait for it.
    It will certainly happen.
    It won’t be late.

“Look at the proud person. He is not right in himself.
    But the righteous person will live because of his faithfulness.[a]
Also because wine is treacherous
    he is arrogant and never rests.
    He has a large appetite like the grave.
    He is like death—never satisfied.
    He gathers all the nations to himself.
    He collects all the people to himself.
