Be still and wait patiently for the Lord to act. Don’t be upset when other people succeed. Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.

你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通达的和那恶谋成就的心怀不平。

你要在耶和華面前靜默，耐心等候他；不要因那道路通達、施行詭計的人而心懷不平。

緘默於耶和華前、忍以望之、人之道途通達、人之惡謀得成、勿為之生煩擾兮、

惟耶和華是賴、望其庇佑兮、惡者亨通、謀為得成、爾心毋為不平兮。

爾當默然倚賴主、仰望主、莫因惡人亨通、惡謀成就、心懷不平、

應向天主前。默默披心腹。莫因小人達。中心懷不服。

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the person who carries out evil plans.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way, Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.

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.

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord comes. See how the farmer waits for the land to produce its rich crop. See how patient the farmer is for the fall and spring rains.You too must be patient. You must remain strong. The Lord will soon come back.Brothers and sisters, don’t find fault with one another. If you do, you will be judged. And the Judge is standing at the door!Brothers and sisters, think about the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. They are an example of how to be patient when you suffer.As you know, we think that people who don’t give up are blessed. You have heard that Job was patient. And you have seen what the Lord finally did for him. The Lord is full of tender mercy and loving concern.

You need to be faithful. Then you will do what God wants. You will receive what he has promised.“ In just a little while, he who is coming will come. He will not wait any longer.”

Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don’t lose hope. Wait for the Lord.

Yes, I must find my rest in God. He is the God who gives me hope.

Don’t say,“ I’ll get even with you for the wrong you did to me!” Wait for the Lord, and he will make things right for you.

The message I give you waits for the time I have appointed. It speaks about what is going to happen. And all of it will come true. It might take a while. But wait for it. You can be sure it will come. It will happen when I want it to.

I was patient while I waited for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him. He is good to those who look to him.It is good when people wait quietly for the Lord to save them.

It is surely true that I find my rest in God. He is the God who saves me.

Lord, when I bring a matter to you, you always do what is right. But now I would like to speak with you about whether you are being fair. Why are sinful people successful? Why do those who can’t be trusted have an easy life?

The Lord and King is the Holy One of Israel. He says,“ You will find peace and rest when you turn away from your sins and depend on me. You will receive the strength you need when you stay calm and trust in me. But you do not want to do what I tell you to.

I will wait for the Lord. He is turning his face away from Jacob’s people. I will put my trust in him.

One of the beast’s heads seemed to have had a deadly wound. But the wound had been healed. The whole world was amazed and followed the beast.People worshiped the dragon, because he had given authority to the beast. They also worshiped the beast. They asked,“ Who is like the beast? Who can make war against it?”The beast was given a mouth to brag and speak evil things against God. The beast was allowed to use its authority for 42 months.The beast opened its mouth to speak evil things against God. It told lies about God and about the place where God lives. And it told lies about those who live in heaven with him.The beast was allowed to make war against God’s holy people and to overcome them. It was given authority over every tribe, people and nation, no matter what language they spoke.Many people who live on the earth will worship the beast. They are the ones whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life. The Lamb is the one whose death was planned before the world was created.Whoever has ears should listen.“ Everyone who is supposed to be captured will be captured. Everyone who is supposed to be killed by a sword will be killed by a sword.”( Jeremiah 15:2) So God’s people must be patient and faithful.

I saw that proud and sinful people were doing well. And I began to long for what they had.They don’t have any troubles. Their bodies are healthy and strong.They don’t have the problems most people have. They don’t suffer as other people do.Their pride is like a necklace. They put on meanness as if it were their clothes.Many sins come out of their hard and stubborn hearts. There is no limit to the evil things they can think up.They laugh at others and speak words of hatred. They are proud. They warn others about the harm they can do to them.They brag as if they owned heaven itself. They talk as if they controlled the earth.So people listen to them. They lap up their words like water.They say,“ How would God know what we’re doing? Does the Most High God know anything?”Here is what sinful people are like. They don’t have a care in the world. They keep getting richer and richer.It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason. It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong.Day after day I’ve been in pain. God has punished me in a new way every morning.

So the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel. On that day Joshua spoke to the Lord while the Israelites were listening. He said,“ Sun, stand still over Gibeon. And you, moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon.”

Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up.

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”

Suppose you see poor people being mistreated somewhere. And what is being done to them isn’t right or fair. Don’t be surprised by that. One official is watched by a higher one. Officials who are even higher are watching both of them.

The king of Assyria says,“‘ By my power I have taken over all these nations. I am very wise. I have great understanding. I have wiped out the borders between nations. I’ve taken their treasures. Like a great hero I’ve brought their kings under my control.I’ve taken the wealth of the nations. It was as easy as reaching into a bird’s nest. I’ve gathered the riches of all these countries. It was as easy as gathering eggs that have been left in a nest. Not a single baby bird flapped its wings. Not one of them opened its mouth to chirp.’ ”

Why do sinful people keep on living? The older they grow, the richer they get.They see their children grow up around them. They watch their family grow larger.Their homes are safe. They don’t have to be afraid. God isn’t punishing them.Every time their bulls mate, their cows become pregnant. And the calves don’t die before they are born.Sinful people send their children out like a flock of lambs. Their little ones dance around.They sing to the music of tambourines and lyres. They have a good time while flutes are being played.Those who are evil spend their years living well. They go down to their graves in peace.But they say to God,‘ Leave us alone! We don’t want to know how you want us to live.Who is the Mighty One? Why should we serve him? What would we get if we prayed to him?’But they aren’t in control of their own success. So I don’t pay any attention to their plans.“ How often are their lamps blown out? How often does trouble come on them? How often does God punish them when he’s angry?How often are they like straw blowing in the wind? How often are they like tumbleweeds swept away by a storm?People say,‘ God stores up the punishment of evil people for their children.’ But let God punish the evil people themselves. Then they’ll learn a lesson from it.Let their own eyes see how they are destroyed. Let them drink the wine of the Mighty One’s anger.What do they care about the families they leave behind? What do they care about them when their lives come to an end?“ Can anyone teach God anything? After all, he judges even the angels in heaven.Some people die while they are still very strong. They are completely secure. They have an easy life.They are well fed. Their bodies are healthy.Others die while their spirits are bitter. They’ve never enjoyed anything good.Side by side they lie in the dust of death. The worms in their graves cover all of them.“ I know exactly what you people are thinking. I know you are planning to do bad things to me.You are saying to yourselves,‘ Where is the great man’s house now? Where are the tents where his evil family lived?’Haven’t you ever asked questions of those who travel? Haven’t you paid any attention to their stories?They’ll tell you that sinful people are spared from the day of trouble. They’ll say that those people are saved from the day when God will judge.Who speaks against them for the way they act? Who pays them back for what they’ve done?Their bodies will be carried to their graves. Guards will watch over their tombs.The soil in the valley will be pleasant to those who have died. Many people will walk along behind their bodies. Many others will walk in front of them.“ So how can you comfort me with your speeches? They don’t make any sense at all. Your answers are nothing but lies!”

I don’t bring charges against you because of your sacrifices. I don’t bring charges because of the burnt offerings you always bring me.

“ A certain king will do as he pleases. He will honor himself. He will put himself above every god. He will say things against the greatest God of all. Those things have never been heard before. He will have success until God is not angry anymore. What God has decided to do must take place.
