Isa_8:17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Ver. 17. And I will wait upon the Lord.] I will patiently and peaceably submit to his holy will in the exercise of mine office, hoping that I shall be acknowledged and approved of him, though men reject me, and are for their obstinace deservedly rejected of God.
And I will look for him.] As it were with outstretched neck. Difficile opus et arduum! Difficult and arduous work! Good men find it more easy to bear evil than to wait till the promised good be enjoyed. {Heb_10:36}
