¹² And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

² And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

³ And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

³ For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.

¹⁸ For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.

⁸ We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

⁹ And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation.

¹⁷ And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.

⁵ I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

⁶ My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

¹⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

¹⁰ And after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;

⁷ Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
