Habakkuk 2:1-3
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

1I will stand at my guard post And station myself on the watchtower; And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me, And how I may reply when I am reprimanded. 2Then the Lord answered me and said, 'Write down the vision And inscribe it clearly on tablets, So that one who reads it may run. 3For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay long.
King James Version

Chapter 2

3For 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.
