The Just Live by Faith

Then the Lord answered me and said:

(A)“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For (B)the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will (C)not lie.
Though it tarries, (D)wait for it;
Because it will (E)surely come,
It will not tarry.

The Lord’s Answer

Then the Lord replied:

“Write(A) down the revelation
    and make it plain on tablets
    so that a herald[a] may run with it.
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;(B)
    it speaks of the end(C)
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait(D) for it;
    it[b] will certainly come
    and will not delay.(E)
