Habakkuk 2:2-4

The LORD’s Answer

2 Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald[a] may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it[b] will certainly come and will not delay.
4 “See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright— but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness[c]
