Habakkuk 2:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Then Yahweh answered me and said,
“(A)Write down the vision
And write it on tablets distinctly,
That [a]the one who [b]reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for the (B)appointed time;
It pants toward its end, and it will not [c]lie.
Though it tarries, (C)wait for it;
For it will certainly come; it (D)will not delay.
4 “Behold, as for the (E)proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the (F)righteous will live by his [d]faith.

Habakkuk 2:2-4
Revised Standard Version
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain upon tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seem slow, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail,[a]
but the righteous shall live by his faith.[b]
