'Waited' in the Bible

“To me they listened and waited,And kept silent for my counsel.

“They waited for me as for the rain,And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.

“When I expected good, then evil came;When I waited for light, then darkness came.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.

“Behold, I waited for your words,I listened to your reasonings,While you pondered what to say.
