Habakkuk 2:2-4

New International Reader's Version

“Write down the message I am giving you.
    Write it clearly on the tablets you use.
Then a messenger can read it
    and run to announce it.
³ The message I give you
    waits for the time I have appointed.
It speaks about what is going to happen.
    And all of it will come true.
It might take a while.
    But wait for it.
You can be sure it will come.
    It will happen when I want it to.

⁴ “The Babylonians are very proud.
    What they want is not good.

“But the person who is godly
    will live by his faithfulness.
