Hebrew (Masoretic text): הִנֵּה עֻפְּלָה לֹא יָשְׁרָה נַפְשׁוֹ בּוֹ וְצַדִּיק בֶּאֱמוּנָתוֹ יִחְיֶה
Septuagint (Habakkuk 2:4-5 in the Septuagint numbering): ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχὴ μου ἐν αὐτῷ· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως μου ζήσεται. δὲ κατοιόμενος καταφρονητής· οὐδέν μὴ περάνῃ· ὃς ἐπλάτυνεν καθὼς ᾅης τὴν ψυχὴν
