For it is written in the law of Moses,“ You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

Hebrews 6:10-19

Psalms 119:81-83
My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.My eyes fail for your word. I say,“ When will you comfort me?”For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.
