Habakkuk 2:2-4
New King James Version
The Just Live by Faith
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
(A)“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For (B)the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will (C)not lie.
Though it tarries, (D)wait for it;
Because it will (E)surely come,
It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the (F)just shall live by his faith.
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.
