2 I will stand at my post,
    and station myself on the rampart.
And I will keep watch to see what he will say to me,
    and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
² Then Yahweh answered me and said,
“Write the vision and make it plain on the tablet
    so that it might be read quickly.^[a]
3 For there is yet a vision for the appointed time;
    it will give witness to the end, and it will not lie.
If it tarries, wait for it,
    for it will surely come and not delay.
