Habakkuk 2:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 2
1 I will stand at my guard post,
and station myself upon the rampart;(A)
I will keep watch to see what he will say to me,
and what answer he will give to my complaint.
God’s Response
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
Write down the vision;[a](B)
Make it plain upon tablets,
so that the one who reads it may run.
3 For the vision is a witness for the appointed time,
a testimony to the end; it will not disappoint.
If it delays, wait for it,
it will surely come, it will not be late.

and what answer I am to give to this complaint.[a](D)
