Isaiah 40:27-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and assert, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
and my right is disregarded by my God”?(A)
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.(B)
29 He gives power to the faint
and strengthens the powerless.(C)
30 Even youths will faint and be weary,
and the young will fall exhausted,
31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.(D)

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?(A)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?(B)
The Lord is the everlasting(C) God,
the Creator(D) of the ends of the earth.(E)
He will not grow tired or weary,(F)
and his understanding no one can fathom.(G)
29 He gives strength(H) to the weary(I)
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men(J) stumble and fall;(K)
31 but those who hope(L) in the Lord
will renew their strength.(M)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(N)
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.(O)

Isaiah 40:27-31
King James Version
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
