Lot's of examples where a faithful person did not 'wait on Jehovah' but did the right thing.

Examples of those who did wait expectantly while doing the wrong thing includes the pharisees.
"Wait on Jehovah" is nothing more than a cowardly excuse to justify inaction.
If you know something is wrong than you have a personal responsibility.
