3Why do you make me look at injustice?



Why do you tolerateDestruction and violence

The
Lord’s Answer


2Then the
Lord
replied:

“Write

and make it plain on tablets




so that a herald
3For the revelation awaits an appointed time;

it speaks of the end

and will not prove false.


Though it linger, wait

it

and will not delay.
4“See, the enemy is puffed up;



his desires are not upright—




but the righteous person
