Habakkuk 2:25 NRSV)2Then the LORDansweredme and said:Write the vision;

make it plain ontablets,so that a runner may

read it.3For there is still a visionfor the appointed time;

it speaks of the end,and does not lie.

If it seems to tarry, wait forit;

it will surely come,it will not delay.

4Look at the proud!Their spirit is notright in them,but the righteouslive by their faith.

5Moreover, wealth is

treacherous;the arrogant do notendure.

They open their throats wideas Sheol;

like Death theynever have enough.

They gather all nations forthemselves,

and collect allpeoples as their own.

long as we have the presence of the Holy Ghostto-day, let the morrow take thought for the thingsof itself. Let us enjoy this day in peace. Let us lay down thisnight in peace, putting our trust in God for the morrow. Ifwe thus live day by dayfor it is written that the just shall
