Isaiah 8:17

Wait For Yahweh

¹⁶ Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only. ¹⁷ And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him. ¹⁸ See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.
