Isaiah 30:18

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.

KJV

Propterea exspectat Dominus ut misereatur vestri ; et ideo exaltabitur parcens vobis, quia Deus judicii Dominus : beati omnes qui exspectant eum !

Vulgate

καὶ πάλιν μενεῖ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὑψωθήσεται τοῦ ἐλεῆσαι ὑμᾶς, διότι κριτὴς Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν· μακάριοι οἱ ἐμμένοντες ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.

LXX

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