Some render actively, He is waiting for of the Sword: He stands expecting the Sword, and that in a double sense;1 he waits for the Sword which he fears will destroy him, or he waits for a Sword, which he desires to defend him. Mr. Broughton gives this sense, Having watch, he thinketh upon the Sword.

Again, others render it passively, He is waited for of the Sword, when he thinks not of it: The Sword lies in ambush to surprise him. A man is said to be waited for by an Enemy, when he intends to assault him unawares, To be thus waited for by the sword, is to be waited for by sword-men. And it is as great a disadvantage to be seen of the Sword, before we see the Sword; as it is (according to the old Proverb) to be seen of the Wolf, or of the Crocodile, before we see either.
