Habakkuk 2:3 in Context — Habakkuk 2

1 J’étais à mon poste, Et je me tenais sur la tour; Je veillais, pour voir ce que l’Éternel me dirait, Et ce que je répliquerais après ma plainte.

2 L’Éternel m’adressa la parole, et il dit: Écris la prophétie: Grave-la sur des tables, Afin qu’on la lise couramment.

3 Car c’est une prophétie dont le temps est déjà fixé, Elle marche vers son terme, et elle ne mentira pas; Si elle tarde, attends-la, Car elle s’accomplira, elle s’accomplira certainement.

4 Voici, son âme s’est enflée, elle n’est pas droite en lui; Mais le juste vivra par sa foi.

5 Pareil à celui qui est ivre et arrogant, L’orgueilleux ne demeure pas tranquille; Il élargit sa bouche comme le séjour des morts, Il est insatiable comme la mort; Il attire à lui toutes les nations, Il assemble auprès de lui tous les peuples.
