Habakkuk 2:3
1 I will stand at my watch post; I will remain stationed on the city wall. I will keep watching so I can see what he says to me and can know how I should answer when he counters my argument. 2 The Lord responded: “Write down this message. Record it legibly on tablets so the one who announces it may read it easily. 3 For the message is a witness to what is decreed; it gives reliable testimony about how matters will turn out. Even if the message is not fulfilled right away, wait patiently; for it will certainly come to pass—it will not arrive late. 4 Look, the one whose desires are not upright will faint from exhaustion, but the person of integrity will live because of his faithfulness. 5 Indeed, wine will betray the proud, restless man! His appetite is as big as Sheol’s; like death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations; he seizes all peoples.
Hebrews 10:37
35 So do not throw away your confidence, because it has great reward. 36 For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised. 37 For just a little longer and he who is coming will arrive and not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.
Notes and References
"... The fifth instance of gezerah shawah occurs in Hebrews 10:6–7 in conjunction with Hebrews 10:37–38 (Guthrie 1994: 141). This occurrence is somewhat unique in that it uses two key-words to create a literary transition. Guthrie notes that the present tense “I am coming” in Hebrews 10:7 parallels the future tense “I will come” in Hebrews 10:37, and the aorist tense “had no pleasure” in Hebrews 10:6 parallels the present tense “is having no pleasure” in Hebrews 10:38 (1994: 141). The references are as follows: Hebrews 10:7 quotes Psalm 40:7 (Psalm 39:8 LXX) and Hebrews 10:37–38 quotes Habakkuk 2:3–4. The quotation of Psalm 39:7 in Hebrews 10:6 is another case where a word is quoted differently from the Septuagint to the epistle. However, the difference in meaning is only slight: “desire” in Hebrews 10:6 vs. “demand” in Psalm 39:7. Variants within the copies of Septuagint are also possible as Ellingworth notes (501) ..."
