Habakkuk 2 Revised Standard Version
God’s Reply to the Prophet’s Complaint
1          I will take my stand to watch,
            and station myself on the tower,
            and look forth to see what he will say to me,
             and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
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,
              but the righteous shall live by his faith.
