Habakkuk 2:1-5
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
1I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. 2And the Lord answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
3For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end — it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
4"Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.
5"Moreover, wine is a traitor, an arrogant man who is never at rest. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations and collects as his own all peoples."
