The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith

And the Lord answered me:

(A)“Write the vision;
    make it plain on tablets,
    so he may run who reads it.
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.

“Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
    but (E)the righteous shall live by his faith.[a]

The Lord responds

Then the Lord answered me and said,

Write a vision, and make it plain upon a tablet
    so that a runner can read it.[a]
        There is still a vision for the appointed time;
            it testifies to the end;
                it does not deceive.[b]
    If it delays, wait for it;
        for it is surely coming; it will not be late.
Some people’s desires are truly audacious;[c]
            they don’t do the right thing.
        But the righteous person will live honestly.
