Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.
I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.

Menhave not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.
Wait on the LORD,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
