Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.

And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.
For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.
So the Lord waits, wanting to be kind to you, ready to act to show you mercy, for the Lord is a God who does what is right. All who wait for him are blessed.
Yet therefore will the Lord waite, that he may haue mercy vpon you, and therefore wil he be exalted, that hee may haue compassion vpon you: for the Lord is the God of iudgement. Blessed are all they that waite for him.
And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment [is] Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
But Yahweh wants to be kind to you; he desires to show you that he is merciful. Do not forget that Yahweh is a God who acts justly; he is pleased with those who patiently trust in him.

Context — God Will Be Gracious
16“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you. 20The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.Cross References

Isaiah 30:18 Summary
[The Lord wants to be kind to us and show us compassion, as it says in Isaiah 30:18, because He is a just and loving God. This means He wants what's best for us, even if we don't understand what's happening. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, 'For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' We can trust in His goodness and wait for Him, knowing that He will work everything out for our good. By waiting for the Lord, we can experience His peace and comfort, as promised in Philippians 4:7, which says that 'the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus'.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the Lord 'longs to be gracious' to us?
This phrase indicates God's deep desire to show us kindness and mercy, as seen in Isaiah 30:18, and is reminiscent of His character in Psalms 103:8, which says He is 'slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness'.
How can God be both just and compassionate?
The Lord's justice and compassion are not mutually exclusive, as seen in Isaiah 30:18, where He is described as a 'just God' who rises to show compassion; this balance is also seen in Romans 3:26, which explains how God can be both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to 'wait for' the Lord?
Waiting for the Lord, as mentioned in Isaiah 30:18, means trusting in His timing and plan, even when we don't understand, as encouraged in Psalms 27:14, which says to 'wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord'.
Why are those who wait for the Lord considered 'blessed'?
Those who wait for the Lord are considered blessed because they will experience His goodness and salvation, as promised in Isaiah 30:18, and will receive the strength and comfort that comes from trusting in Him, as seen in Isaiah 40:31, which says they 'will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint'.
Reflection Questions
- How have I seen the Lord's graciousness and compassion in my own life, and how can I respond to His kindness?
- In what ways am I trying to flee from my problems, like the Israelites in Isaiah 30:16-17, instead of waiting for the Lord's deliverance?
- What are some areas of my life where I need to trust in the Lord's justice and timing, rather than trying to take control myself?
- How can I cultivate a deeper sense of waiting on the Lord, and what practices can I implement in my daily life to help me do so?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 30:18
And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you,.... Or "yet" (q), or "nevertheless" though such an utter destruction shall be made, there are a few that the Lord has a good will
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 30:18
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 30:18
Therefore; because of your general destruction and great misery; which is frequently mentioned in Scripture as a motive to God’ s mercy, as , and in many other places, as hath been oft observed already. But some rendered this Hebrew particle yet, or notwithstanding, as it is supposed to signify, . Wait; patiently expect your repentance, and stop the course of his judicial proceedings against you, that you may have an opportunity of making your peace with him, and of preventing your utter ruin. Will he be exalted; he will lift up and bestir himself, and will work gloriously in your behalf, as this phrase is used, 46:10 , and oft elsewhere; and as the following verses explain it. Is a God of judgment; who carrieth himself towards his people (for of them only he speaks in this place) not with furious passion, but with judgment and discretion, or with equity and moderation; for judgment is oft opposed to fury and rigorous justice, as 30:11. Blessed are all they that wait for him; this waiting upon God, in his way, with faith and patience, is a surer way to your safety and happiness, than seeking to Egypt, or any other carnal remedies.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 30:18
Isaiah 30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.Ver. 18. And therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you.] This is a wonderful condescension - i.e., God tarrieth looking for thee to show thee mercy, as Mr Bradford rendereth it; if thou wert ripe, he is ready. But never think that he will lay cordials upon full and foul stomachs, saith another grave divine; that he will scarf thy bones before they be set, and lap up thy sores before they be searched. God chooseth the fittest times to hear and help his suppliants, opportunitatem opitulandi expectat. Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Let your equanimity, your longanimity, be known to all men; the Lord is at hand. And therefore will he be exalted.] He will get up to his tribunal or throne of grace, that if ye repent ye may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. For the Lord is a God of judgment,] i.e., He is a wise God, that knoweth best when to deal forth his favours, and where to place his benefits. Blessed are all they that wait for him.] Wait his leisure, et non cerebri sui sectantur consilia, and seek not to get off by indirect courses. Those, though they should die in a waiting condition, yet cannot but be happy, because God hath said here, "Blessed are all they that wait for him." Serm. of Repent.
Dr Harris.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 30:18
(18) And therefore . . .—The words seem to embody the thought that “man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.” Precisely because of this isolated misery Jehovah was “waiting,” i.e., longing, with an eager expectation, to come to the rescue. And therefore will he be exalted.—A very slight alteration gives a meaning more in harmony with the context, will wait in stillness (Cheyne). If we adhere to the existing text, we must take the meaning will withdraw himself on high, will seem to wait, that He may at last interpose effectually. A God of judgment.—Better, of righteousness.All they that wait for him.—This waiting is, as in the first clause, that of wistful longing.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 30:18
Verse 18. And therefore will he be exalted - "Even for this shall he expect in silence"] For ירום yarum, he shall be exalted, which belongs not to this place, Houbigant reads ידום yadum, he shall be silent: and so it seems to be in a MS. Another MS. instead of it reads ישוב yashub, he shall return. The mistakes occasioned by the similitude of the letters ד daleth and ר resh are very frequent, as the reader may have already observed.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 30:18
And therefore - The sense of the words rendered ‘and therefore,’ may be better expressed by the phrase, ‘yet moreover,’ meaning, that notwithstanding their sins, and the necessity of punishing them,
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 30:18
18. Therefore — Alexander deems this a term of conclusion. Better thus than moreover, (Gesenius, Lowth, Barnes, Delitzsch, et al.) The sense is, You should, if rightly dealt with, be at once
