'Waiting' in the Bible

Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him [when he] observed the city was full of idols.

And these had gone on ahead [and] were waiting for us in Troas.

You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more [than] forty men of {their number} are lying in wait [for] him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for {you to agree}."
