'Sat' in the Bible

“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see;Where have you not been violated?By the roads you have sat for themLike an Arab in the desert,And you have polluted a landWith your harlotry and with your wickedness.

I did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,Nor did I exult.Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone,For You filled me with indignation.
