Habakkuk 2:3
_ _ for — assigning the cause why it ought to be committed to writing: because its fulfillment belongs to the future.
_ _ the vision is yet for an appointed time — (Daniel 10:14; Daniel 11:27, Daniel 11:35). Though the time appointed by God for the fulfillment be yet future, it should be enough for your faith that God hath spoken it (Lamentations 3:26).
_ _ at the end it shall speak — Maurer translates, “it pants for the end.” But the antithesis between, “it shall speak,” and “not be silent,” makes English Version the better rendering. So the Hebrew is translated in Proverbs 12:17. Literally, “breathe out words,” “break forth as a blast.”
_ _ though it tarry, wait for it — (Genesis 49:18). |
Habakkuk 2:3
At the end — When the period appointed of God shall come. Shall speak — Be accomplished, and not disappoint your expectation. |
Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the (c) end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
(c) Which contained the destruction of the enemy, and the comfort of the Church. And even though God does not execute this according to man's hasty affections, yet the issue of both is certain at his appointed time. |
