God's Patient Waiting
Commentators explain that God's "waiting" is not a sign of inaction or indifference. Instead, it is a purposeful and patient delay. In contrast to Israel's sinful haste, God waits for the most opportune moment to extend grace and mercy, often when people are at their lowest point and ready to receive His help. This reveals His longsuffering character.
