1. I will take my stand at my post, and station myself on the rampart, and I will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer regarding my argument.
2. Then Adonai answered me and said: “Write down the vision, make it plain on the tablets, so that the reader may run with it.
3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time. It hastens to the end and will not fail. If it should be slow in coming, wait for it, For it will surely come—it will not delay.”
4. Behold, the puffed up one— his soul is not right within him, But the righteous will live by his trust.
5. Indeed, because this wine betrays, a proud man never rests. He enlarges his desire like Sheol, Like death, he is never satisfied. So he gathers to himself all nations, and collects all peoples for himself.
