28 Surely you know the truth.
    Surely you have heard.
The Lord is the God who lives forever!
    He created all the faraway places on earth.
He does not get tired and weary.
    You cannot learn all he knows.
29 He helps tired people be strong.
    He gives power to those without it.
30 Young men get tired and need to rest.
    Even young boys stumble and fall.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will become strong again.
    They will be like eagles that grow new feathers.[a]
They will run and not get weak.
    They will walk and not get tired.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 40:31 like … feathers This probably refers to the ancient belief that eagles regain their youth when they molt (lose and grow back their feathers). See Ps. 103:5. This line could also be translated, “They will rise up like eagles on their wings.”
