If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.

And they wait as for rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide As for the latter rain.

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,now that they stand there and no longer answer?

Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

Wait for me a little, and I will show youThat there is yet more to be said in God’s behalf.
