2 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica
2 1I will take my stand to watch,
and station myself on the tower,
and look forth to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
The LORD's answer to Habakkuk. Hab.2.1-4עַל־מִשְׁמַרְתִּי אֶעֱמֹדָה וְאֶתְיַצְּבָה עַל־מָצֹור וַאֲצַפֶּה לִרְאֹות מַה־יְדַבֶּר־בִּי וּמָה אָשִׁיב עַל־תֹּוכַחְתִּי׃
2And Yahweh answered me:
"Write the vision;
make it plain upon tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
 וַיַּעֲנֵנִי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר כְּתֹוב חָזֹון וּבָאֵר עַל־הַלֻּחֹות לְמַעַן יָרוּץ קֹורֵא בֹו׃
3For still the vision awaits its time;
it hastens to the end - it will not lie.
If it seem slow, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay.
 כִּי עֹוד חָזֹון לַמֹּועֵד וְיָפֵחַ לַקֵּץ וְלֹא יְכַזֵּב אִם־יִתְמַהְמָהּ חַכֵּה־לֹו כִּי־בֹא יָבֹא לֹא יְאַחֵר׃
4Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.
 הִנֵּה עֻפְּלָה לֹא־יָשְׁרָה נַפְשֹׁו בֹּו וְצַדִּיק בֶּאֱמוּנָתֹו יִחְיֶה׃
Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes? Please e-mail me.
