The Lord Assures Habakkuk The LORD responded:“Write down this message! Record it legibly on tablets, so the one who announces it may read it easily.
For the message is a witness to what is decreed; it gives reliable testimony about how matters will turn out. Even if the message is not fulfilled right away, wait patiently; for it will certainly come to pass– it will not arrive late.
Look, the one whose desires are not upright will faint from exhaustion, but the person of integrity will live because of his faithfulness.
