Proverbs 29:16

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad.

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.

But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have become a terror, and you will be no more.” ’ ”

Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”

The couriers went out in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.

You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Exalt Yahweh, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh, our God, is holy!

Praise Yahweh, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.

Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Your eyes will see, and you will say, “Yahweh is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”

for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”

He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.”

For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

Who wouldn’t fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed.”

“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.”
