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.
Ibn Ezra
Will the Lord wait. An anthropomorphism. לחננכם That He may be gracious unto you. A verb ע״ע like לחמם to warm (47:14); it is the Kal like לשכב to lie (Gen. 34:7); all these forms, however, are irregular. And therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you, for the Lord is a God of judgment, He will do judgment on Assyria for your sake.
