Habakkuk 2:3 (KJ21)
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.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NAS)
For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NIVUS)
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT)
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

The Lord your God has prophesied and given you a vision. He has already provided everything for it to come to pass. What you see now as a dream, you soon will experience as reality, for Adonai has appointed it to happen. The time is fixed. Its fulfillment is sure and will not be cut off. God has breathed on it and given it life. It is not a lie that will deceive you. It will not fail nor disappoint you.

Wait for it patiently. Do not continuously ask, “Why am I not seeing it or how long will this take?” It will come, for Jehovah is bringing it to pass. It is near. It will not hesitate nor delay in its coming. Look expectantly!
