Habakkuk 2:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
God’s Second Answer
2 The Lord answered me:
Write down this vision;(A)
clearly inscribe it on tablets
so one may easily read it.[a]
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
it testifies about the end and will not lie.
Though it delays, wait for it,
since it will certainly come and not be late.(B)
4 Look, his ego is inflated;[b]
he is without integrity.
But the righteous one will live by his faith.[c](C)

Common English Bible
The Lord responds
2 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]
3 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.
4 Some people’s desires are truly audacious;[c]
they don’t do the right thing.
But the righteous person will live honestly.
