“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
Though it tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay—the reiteration emphasizes that patient trust in God's timing constitutes the proper response to theodicy; justice delayed is not justice denied if it remains assured. The affirmation that the vision 'will not lie' and will 'surely come' establishes God's reliability as the foundation for faith amid apparent moral chaos. This verse begins shifting Habakkuk toward resolution through trust rather than through intellectual comprehension.
