Either could be correct, depending on the way you want the text interpretted.

Everything will be given to that guy, you know the one, that guy who waits. (waiting just describes that guy)

Everything will be given to whoever it is who waits. (less focus on the guy more on the waiting. This is the biblical context)

It is "All things come to he who waits!"
