And on the seventh H7637 day H3117 God H430 ended H3615 his work H4399 which he had made; H6213 and he rested H7673 on the seventh H7637 day H3117 from all his work H4399 which he had made. H6213 And God H430 blessed H1288 the seventh H7637 day, H3117 and sanctified H6942 it: because H3588 that in it he had rested H7673 from all his work H4399 which God H430 created H1254 and made. H6213
I wait H6960 for the LORD, H3068 my soul H5315 doth wait, H6960 and in his word H1697 do I hope. H3176 My soul H5315 waiteth for the Lord H136 more than they that watch H8104 for the morning: H1242 I say, more than they that watch H8104 for the morning. H1242
Be patient G3114 therefore, G3767 brethren, G80 unto G2193 the coming G3952 of the Lord. G2962 Behold, G2400 the husbandman G1092 waiteth G1551 for the precious G5093 fruit G2590 of the earth, G1093 and hath long patience G3114 for G1909 it, G846 until G2193 G302 he receive G2983 the early G4406 and G2532 latter G3797 rain. G5205 Be G3114 ye G5210 also G2532 patient; G3114 stablish G4741 your G5216 hearts: G2588 for G3754 the coming G3952 of the Lord G2962 draweth nigh. G1448
