  to hope for [Biblical Hebrew]  Qumran, PTA.  11QtgJob 25.7=34:31 : לה איחל.  GT G Exod20:2 : מיַחֲלִין יחמו שנאיהון קטילין  hoping to see their enemies killed.

The Qumran Job passage [for MT לֹא אֶחְבֹּל] seems to reflect the Hebrew of Job 13:15, which itself is a long-standing crux of interpretation; the traditional "I shall wait" is dubious but was so understood as demonstrated by the cited targumic expansion.
