Berean Standard Bible
“I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the ramparts. I will watch to see what He will say to me, and how I should answer when corrected.”
Habakkuk is a short prophetic book built around the prophet's honest questions to God about injustice in Judah and about God's plan to use Babylon. In chapter 1 he complains, and here in chapter 2 he prepares to wait for an answer.
