Isaiah 40:25-31

Common English Bible

²⁵So to whom will you compare me,
and who is my equal? says the holy one.

Power for the weary

²⁶Look up at the sky and consider:
    Who created these?
    The one who brings out their attendants one by one,
    summoning each of them by name.
Because of God’s great strength
    and mighty power, not one is missing.
²⁷Why do you say, Jacob,
    and declare, Israel,
    “My way is hidden from the Lord,
    my God ignores my predicament”?
²⁸Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard?
    The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the creator of the ends of the earth.
    He doesn’t grow tired or weary.
His understanding is beyond human reach,
²⁹    giving power to the tired
    and reviving the exhausted.
³⁰Youths will become tired and weary,
    young men will certainly stumble;
³¹    but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength;
    they will fly up on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not be tired;
    they will walk and not be weary.
