Isaiah 40:25-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ To whom then can you compare me,
    or who is my equal? says the Holy One.
²⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens.
    Who created these things?
He leads forth their host and numbers them,
    summoning them all by name.^[a]
Because of his mighty power and great strength,
    not one of them is missing.
²⁷ Why do you say, O Jacob,
    and complain, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
    and my cause is disregarded by my God”?
²⁸ Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the eternal God,
    the Creator of the earth’s farthest boundaries.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding cannot be scrutinized.
²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
    and new vigor to those who are powerless.
³⁰ Even though young men faint and grow weary
    and youths stumble and fall,
³¹ those who place their hope in the Lord
    will regain their strength.
They will soar as with eagles’ wings,
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not become faint.
