'Waiting' in the Bible

The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:

If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;

A rope lies hidden in the dirt; a trap lies waiting for him where he is walking."

His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.

And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about;

Men listened to me with expectation,waiting silently for my advice.

They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.

If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;

I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,

And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?

how much less when you complainthat you do not see Him,that your case is before Himand you are waiting for Him.

When they are stretched out in their holes, and are waiting in the brushwood?
