Chapters

Habakkuk 2 - The Lord's Response: A Vision of Judgment and the Promise of Justice

1. I will stand on my watch, and set me on the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run that reads it. 3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
