- Wait:
- Kawah, to wait, implies the extension of a right line from one point to another. The first point is the human heart; the line is its intense desire; and the last point is God, to whom the heart extends this straight line of earnest desire. He who, while he waits on God, keeps his way, is sure to have the further blessings of which he is in pursuit. "Trustª° in the LORD,ª and doª° good;ª [so] shalt thou dwellª° in the land,ª and verilyª thou shalt be fed.ª°" {Psa 37:3} + "Restª° in the LORD,ª and wait patientlyª° for him: fret²° not thyself¹¹ because of him who prosperethª° in his way,ª because of the manª who bringeth²° wicked devices² to pass.ª°¹" {Psa 37:7} + "For¹ evildoersª° shall be cut off:ª° but those that wait²° upon¹ the LORD,ª they¹ shall inheritª° the earth.ª" {Psa 37:9} + "Waitª° on¹ the LORD:ª be of good courage,ª° and he shall strengthenª° thine heart:ª wait,ª° I say, on¹ the LORD.ª" {Psa 27:14} + "Sayª° not¹ thou, I will recompenseª° evil;ª [but] wait¹ on²° the LORD,ª and he shall saveª° thee." {Prv 20:22}
