2. HABAKKUK 2:1-4 (NIV)
“
I will stand at my watch and station
myself on the ramparts; I will look to
see what he will say to me, and what
answer I am to give to this complaint..”

3. HABAKKUK 2:1-4 (NIV)
Then the Lord replied:
“Write down the revelation and make
it plain on tablets so that a herald may
run with it.“ .”

4. HABAKKUK 2:1-4 (NIV)
For the revelation awaits an
appointed time; it speaks of the end
and will not prove false. Though it
linger, wait for it; it will certainly
come and will not delay.
“ .”

5. ISAIAH 62:5-7 (MSG)
I’ve posted watchmen on your walls,
Jerusalem. Day and night they keep
at it, praying, calling out, Reminding
God to remember.“ .”

6. ISAIAH 56:10-11 (NIV)
Israel's watchmen are blind, they all lack
knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they
cannot bark; they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep. They are dogs with
mighty appetites; they never have
enough.
“ .”

7. ISAIAH 56:10-11 (NIV)
They are shepherds who lack
understanding; they all turn to their
own way, each seeks his own gain.
Come, each one cries, "let me get
wine! Let us drink our fill of beer! And
tomorrow will be like today, or even far
better.
“ .”

8. ISAIAH 21:8 (NIV)
And the lookout shouted, "Day after
day, my lord, I stand on the
watchtower; every night I stay at my
post.“ .”

9. 1 SAM 15:22 (NIV)
Does the Lord delight in burnt
offerings [...] as much as obeying the
voice of the Lord? To obey is better
than sacrifice.“ .”
