In biblical context, waiting on the Lord is a recurring theme, seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/40-31.htm">Isaiah 40:31</a>, which promises renewed strength to those who wait on the Lord. The concept of not being put to shame is tied to the idea of vindication and honor, as seen in <a href="/romans/10-11.htm">Romans 10:11</a>, where Paul assures that those who believe in Christ will not be put to shame. The cultural context of honor and shame in ancient Near Eastern societies underscores the importance of this promise, as shame was a significant social consequence. This phrase also reflects a prophetic assurance of God's faithfulness, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who embodies the perfect trust in the Father.<p><b>but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.</b><br>This part of the verse contrasts the fate of the faithful with those who act deceitfully. Treachery, or betrayal, is a serious offense in biblical narratives, often leading to divine judgment, as seen in the stories of Judas Iscariot (<a href="/matthew/26-14.htm">Matthew 26:14-16</a>) and Absalom (2 Samuel 15). The phrase "without cause" highlights the unjust nature of such actions, aligning with <a href="/proverbs/6-16.htm">Proverbs 6:16-19</a>, which lists deceit as something the Lord detests. The concept of disgrace here is a reversal of honor, a common theme in wisdom literature, where the wicked ultimately face humiliation. This serves as a moral and spiritual warning, reinforcing the biblical principle that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/25.htm">Psalm 25</a>, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep relationship with God and his role as a psalmist.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation of Israel, God's chosen people, often faced challenges that required them to wait on the Lord for deliverance and guidance.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies_of_israel.htm">Enemies of Israel</a></b><br>Throughout history, Israel faced numerous adversaries who opposed them and their faith in God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_waiting_on_god.htm">The Assurance of Waiting on God</a></b><br>Waiting on God is an act of faith and trust.
