'Wait' in the Bible

If they say, “Come with us;Let us lie in wait to shed blood,Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

But [when these people set a trap for others] they lie in wait for their own blood;They set an ambush for their own lives [and rush to their destruction].

The [malevolent] words of the wicked lie in wait for [innocent] blood [to slander],But the mouth of the upright will rescue and protect them.

Do not say, “I will repay evil”;Wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue and save you.

She lurks and lies in wait like a robber [who waits for prey],And she increases the faithless among men.

Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;Do not destroy his resting place;
