God’s Second Answer

The Lord answered me:

Write down this vision;(A)
clearly inscribe it on tablets
so one may easily read it.[a]
For the vision is yet for the appointed time;(B)
it testifies about the end and will not lie.
Though it delays, wait for it,
since it will certainly come and not be late.(C)
Look, his ego is inflated;[b]
he is without integrity.
But the righteous one will live by his faith.[c](D)
