Genesis 8:12

⁸Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

⁹It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

¹⁸Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

¹⁰He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.

¹⁷I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

¹⁴Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.

²On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. ³God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

⁵I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word. ⁶My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. ⁸You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

³For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
