And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 30 of Isaiah. Divine waiting is presented as an expression of mercy: Yahweh waits to show grace and rises to show compassion. Restoration includes teachers, guidance, and the abandonment of idols. At the same time, Assyria is destined for judgment, showing that trust in God leads to a different understanding of international crisis.

Darum harret der HERR, daß er euch gnädig sei, und hat sich aufgemacht, daß er sich euer erbarme; denn der HERR ist ein Gott des Gerichts. Wohl allen, die sein harren!
Empero Jehová esperará para tener piedad de vosotros, y por tanto será ensalzado teniendo de vosotros misericordia: porque Jehová es Dios de juicio: bienaventurados todos los que le esperan.
Por eso Jehová espera para mostrarles favor, y por eso se levantará para tener compasión de ustedes; porque Jehová es un Dios de justicia. ¡Dichosos todos los que esperan en él!
Cependant l'Eternel désire vous faire grâce, Et il se lèvera pour vous faire miséricorde; Car l'Eternel est un Dieu juste: Heureux tous ceux qui espèrent en lui!
E però il Signore indugerà ad aver mercè di voi; e però altresì egli sarà esaltato, avendo pietà di voi; perciocchè il Signore è l’Iddio del giudicio. Beati tutti coloro che l’attendono.
Por isso, o SENHOR esperará, para ter misericórdia de vós; e por isso se levantará, para se compadecer de vós, porque o SENHOR é um Deus de eqüidade; bem-aventurados todos os que nele esperam.
耶和華必然等候,要施恩給你們; 必然興起,好憐憫你們。 因為耶和華是公平的上帝; 凡等候他的都是有福的!
