3The message I give you

waits for the time I have appointed.

It speaks about what is going to happen.

And all of it will come true.

It might take a while.

But wait for it.

You can be sure it will come.

It will happen when I want it to.

4“The Babylonians are very proud.

What they want is not good.

“But the one who is right with God

will live by faith.

Read in Logos
Habakkuk 2:3: For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

he is without integrity.

But the righteous one will live by his faith.

They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.

But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.

it is not upright.

But the righteous shall live by his faithfulness.

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.

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:

But the just shall live by his faith.
