3 Because, the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him; but the just will live by his faith.

6 “Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his! How long? And to him who loads himself with thick clay’?
