All Along The Watchtower

Habakkuk 2:1-5

1 I will take my stand at my watchpost

  and station myself on the tower,

and look out to see what he will say to me,

  and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

2 And the Lord answered me:

“Write the vision;

  make it plain on tablets,

  so he may run who reads it.

3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;

  it hastens to the end—it will not lie.

If it seems slow, wait for it;

  it will surely come; it will not delay.

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,

  but the righteous shall live by his faith.

5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor,

  an arrogant man who is never at rest.

His greed is as wide as Sheol;

  like death he has never enough.

He gathers for himself all nations

  and collects as his own all peoples.”
