[2:1] I will climb my watchtower and wait to see what the Lord will tell me to say and what answer he will give to my complaint.
[2:2] The Lord gave me this answer: “Write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.
[2:3] Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.
[2:4] And this is the message: ‘Those who are evil will not survive, but those who are righteous will live because they are faithful to God.’”
