Habakkuk 2:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 Then the Lord answered me and said,
“(A)Write down the vision
And inscribe it clearly on tablets,
So that one who [a]reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for the (B)appointed time;
It [b]hurries toward the goal and it will not [c]fail.
Though it delays, (C)wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it (D)will not delay long.
4 “Behold, as for the (E)impudent one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the (F)righteous one will live by his [d]faith.

Habakkuk 2:2-4
Common English Bible
The Lord responds
2 Then the Lord answered me and said,
Write a vision, and make it plain upon a tablet
so that a runner can read it.[a]
3 There is still a vision for the appointed time;
it testifies to the end;
it does not deceive.[b]
If it delays, wait for it;
for it is surely coming; it will not be late.
4 Some people’s desires are truly audacious;[c]
they don’t do the right thing.
But the righteous person will live honestly.
