Isaiah 30:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Yet therefore will the Lord wait, that he may have [a]mercy upon you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have compassion upon you: for the Lord is the God of [b]judgment. Blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Surely a people shall dwell in Zion, and in Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will certainly have mercy upon thee at the voice of thy cry: when he heareth thee, he will answer thee.
20 And when the Lord hath given you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, thy rain shall be no more kept back, but thine eyes shall see thy [c]rain.
