James 5:7-11
New King James Version
Be Patient and Persevering
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord [a]is at hand.
9 Do not [b]grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be [c]condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! 10 (A)My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and (B)patience. 11 Indeed (C)we count them blessed who (D)endure. You have heard of (E)the perseverance of Job and seen (F)the end intended by the Lord—that (G)the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

Hebrews 6:10-19
New King James Version
10 For (A)God is not unjust to forget (B)your work and [a]labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have (C)ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence (D)to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become [b]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience (E)inherit the promises.
God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (F)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (G)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (H)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (I)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (J)the heirs of promise (K)the [c]immutability of His counsel, [d]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [e]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (L)lie, we [f]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (M)set before us.
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, (N)and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

Psalm 119:81-83
New King James Version
כ KAPH
81 (A)My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83 For (B)I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
