Habakkuk 2:2-4
Modern English Version

The Just Shall Live by Faith

2 And the Lord answered me:

Write the vision,
    and make it plain on tablets,
    that he who reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
    but it speaks of the end,
    and does not lie.
If it delays, wait for it;
    it will surely come, it will not delay.

4 Look, his soul is lifted up;
    it is not upright in him;
    but the just shall live by his faith.

Habakkuk 2:2-4
American Standard Version

2 And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it [a]hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.

4 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not [b]upright in him; but the righteous shall live [c]by his faith.
