that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever. ▼

Habakkuk 2:2-3
The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith
2And the Lord answered me:g“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3For still hthe vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, iwait for it;
jit will surely come; it will not delay.
