¹⁴ Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!^(A)

¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord God,
“See, I am laying^[a] in Zion a foundation stone,
    a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation:
    ‘One who trusts will not panic.’^(A)

³ For there is still a vision for the appointed time;
    it speaks of the end and does not lie.
If it seems to tarry, wait for it;
    it will surely come; it will not delay.^(A)
