Habakkuk 2:2–5

2 And the Lord answered me:

m“Write the vision;

make it plain on tablets,

so he may run who reads it.

3  For still nthe vision awaits its oappointed time;

it hastens to the end—it will not lie.

pIf it seems slow, wait for it;

qit will surely come; it will not delay.

4  “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,

but rthe righteous shall live by his faith.1

5  “Moreover, swine2 is a traitor,

an arrogant man who is never at rest.3

His greed is as wide as tSheol;

like death he has never enough.

He gathers for himself all nations

and collects as his own all peoples.”
