TSK · Isaiah 8:17

I wait for your deliverance, O LORD.

He said,“I will reject them, I will see what will happen to them; for they are a perverse generation, children who show no loyalty.

How much less, then, when you say that you do not perceive him, that the case is before him and you are waiting for him!

I rely on the LORD, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

But I will keep watching for the LORD; I will wait for the God who delivers me. My God will listen to me.

For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised.
