“But they that WAIT upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isa. 40:31).
In this passage the Hebrew word used here for “wait” is Qavah, please what is Qavah in Greek?
In Isa. 40:31, the LXX uses the Greek word ὑπομένοντες to translate the Hebrew קוֹיֵ. ὑπομένοντες is a participle conjugated from the lemma ὑπομένω. Conjugations of ὑπομένω occur 54 times in the LXX and 17 times in the Greek NT.
It is a good question because it seems hard to find, if indeed there is, a direct link between any of those passages in the OT that might be quoted again in the NT. However, I think you may be looking for the word: προσδέχομαι (Strong's G4327 - prosdechomai).
For example:
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. (Luke 2:25, KJV)
καὶ ἰδού, ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐν ἰερουσαλὴμ ᾧ ὄνομα συμεών καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος καὶ εὐλαβής προσδεχόμενος παράκλησιν τοῦ ἰσραήλ καὶ πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν (Luke 2:25, Greek TR)
It is the same Greek word used here as well.
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. (Luke 23:51, KJV)
οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν ἰουδαίων ὃς καὶ προσεδέχετο καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ (Luke 23:51, Greek TR)
And here:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:13, KJV)
προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ (Titus 2:13, Greek TR)
That last one parallels this text in the OT that uses the Hebrew word in question (Strong's H6960 - qavah).
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (Isaiah 25:9, KJV)
וְאָמַר֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא הִנֵּ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ זֶ֛ה קִוִּ֥ינוּ לֹ֖ו וְיֹֽושִׁיעֵ֑נוּ זֶ֤ה יְהוָה֙ קִוִּ֣ינוּ לֹ֔ו נָגִ֥ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָ֖ה בִּישׁוּעָתֹֽו׃ (Isaiah 25:9, Hebrew TR)
While they are different languages, the nearest Greek equivalent seems to be προσδέχομαι (Strong's G4327 - prosdechomai).
In Isa 40:31, the word translated "wait" is:
Isa 40:13 is not quoted in the NT anywhere. However, there may be an allusion to this verse (and possibly also Ps 37:9, 123:2, Isa 30:18, Zeph 3:8 ??) in places like Matt 10:22, 24:13, Mark 13:13, Rom 12:12, 1 Cor 12:12, 13:7, etc, (and possibly) 1 Cor 1:7, 4:5, James 5:7.
