Habakkuk 2:2
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Cross-reference
In Deuteronomy 27:8, Moses commands writing the law plainly on stones—the same emphasis on clear, public writing as here.
Isaiah 8:1 parallels the command to write on a large tablet in plain script — the same 'make it plain' instruction for prophetic clarity.
Isaiah 30:8 also commands writing on a tablet for a future witness — echoing Habakkuk's instruction to preserve the vision for the coming time.
Jeremiah 36:2-4 similarly commands writing prophetic words on a scroll — a direct parallel of recording divine revelation for proclamation.
Jeremiah 36:27-32 repeats the writing command after the scroll was burned — reinforcing the persistence of recording God's word despite opposition.
Revelation 1:19 directly commands John to write the vision — a strong parallel to Habakkuk's commission to record prophetic revelation.
Jeremiah 30:2 echoes the same divine command: 'Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.' Both prophets ordered to record revelation.
Ezekiel 24:2 commands: 'Write down this very day.' Same pattern — record a specific prophetic event.
Revelation 1:11 commands John: 'Write what you see in a book.' Nearly identical command as in Habakkuk.
Revelation 10:4 forbids writing: 'Seal up... do not write it down.' Contrasts with Habakkuk's command to write clearly.
Jeremiah 51:60 shows the fulfillment: Jeremiah wrote all the disaster on Babylon. Parallel act of writing down prophecy.

In Deuteronomy 31:19, God commands writing a song as a witness—a similar directive to record divine words for future proclamation.
