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)

Habakkuk 2:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Then Yahweh answered me and said,
“Write the vision and make it plain on the tablet
so that it might be read quickly.[a]
3 For there is yet a vision for the appointed time;
it will give witness to the end, and it will not lie.
If it tarries, wait for it,
for it will surely come and not delay.
4 Look! His spirit within him is puffed up;
it is not upright.
But the righteous shall live by his faithfulness.
