Behold, I waited for your words.
1The word which we translate to wait, imports three things in Scripture; First, an act of hope, or to be carried towards any thing desirable, with a wonderful desire to enjoy it; Hope causeth the soul to breath after fruition. Secondly, the word implieth that grief or trouble which possesseth the mind upon a long stay or detainment of that good which we desire and hope to attain. Thirdly, it notes, the souls patient waiting (though grieved and burdened with present delays) for future enjoyment. In all or any of these senses, Elihu might say, Behold, I waited for your words, I earnestly desired to hear you speak to satisfaction, and I am grieved that you did not; and I would, if need were, patiently wait still, did I not perceive you had done, and quitted your hands of this work.
