The Righteous Will Live by His Faith

I will (A)stand on my guard post
And station myself on the fortification;
And I will (B)keep watch to see (C)what He will speak to me
And how I may respond [a]when I am reproved.
Then Yahweh answered me and said,
(D)Write down the vision
And write it on tablets distinctly,
That [b]the one who [c]reads it may run.
For the vision is yet for the (E)appointed time;
It pants toward its end, and it will not [d]lie.
Though it tarries, (F)wait for it;
For it will certainly come; it (G)will not delay.

“Behold, as for the (H)proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the (I)righteous will live by his [e]faith.
