After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the district of Beth Zur, made repairs as far as the place in front of the Tombs of David, to the pool that was made, and as far as the House of the Mighty.

And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will watch for Him.

In that day a man shall look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and unfathomable things which you do not know.

But I will look to Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
