Isaiah 30:18

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, 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.

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
