God Answers the Prophet

I will (A)stand on my guard post
And station myself on the rampart;
And I will (B)keep watch to see (C)what He will speak to me,
And how I may reply [a]when I am reproved.
Then the Lord answered me and said,
(D)Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That [b]the one who [c]reads it may run.
“For the vision is yet for the (E)appointed time;
It [d]hastens toward the goal and it will not [e]fail.
Though it tarries, (F)wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it (G)will not delay.
