  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.
   
• Psalm 37:7-15
  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
  Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
  Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
  Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off;
  But those who wait on the LORD,
  They shall inherit the earth.
  For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
  Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
  But it shall be no more.
  But the meek shall inherit the earth,
  And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plots against the just,
  And gnashes at him with his teeth.
  The Lord laughs at him,
  For He sees that his day is coming.
  The wicked have drawn the sword
  And have bent their bow,
  To cast down the poor and needy,
  To slay those who are of upright conduct.
  Their sword shall enter their own heart,
  And their bows shall be broken.
