Micah 7:7

Therefore, since times are so calamitous, and all sorts of men are so perfidious, since no sure comfort or relief from those that are nearest relations, and should be dearest friends, I will look; as one set in a watch-tower looks round about, and diligently observes all that stirreth; so will the prophet, speaking in the person of the faithful, the Israel of God; so did they who in Israel and Judah feared the Lord and walked with him; unto the Lord, the God of mercy, power, truth, and wisdom, who can and will help. I will wait for, though he do not presently appear for me, saith the church, I will with patience expect, the God of my salvation; who only can, and who graciously hath promised to save his church. My God will hear me; he doth hear my cry, and will deliver me.
