Habakkuk 2:1-5 (New Revised Standard)
1
I will stand at my watchpost, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he a will answer concerning my complaint.
2
Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it.
3
For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.
4
Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith. b
5
Moreover, wealth c is treacherous; the arrogant do not endure. They open their throats wide as Sheol; like Death they never have enough. They gather all nations for themselves, and collect all peoples as their own.
