1 While standing guardon the watchtower,I waited for the Lord's answer,before explaining the reasonfor my complaint.
2 Then the Lord told me:“I will give you my messagein the form of a vision.Write it clearly enoughto be read at a glance.
3 At the time I have decided,my words will come true.You can trust what I sayabout the future.It may take a long time,but keep on waiting—it will happen!
4 “I, the Lord, refuse to acceptanyone who is proud.Only those who live by faithare acceptable to me.”
