Isaiah 40:27-31
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest O Israel, [a]My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over of my God?
28 Knowest thou not? or hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord hath created the [b]ends of the earth? he neither fainteth, nor is weary: there is no searching of his [c]understanding.
29 But he giveth strength unto him that fainteth, and unto him that hath no strength, he increaseth power.
30 [d]Even the young men shall faint, and be weary, and the young men shall stumble and fall.
31 But they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength: they shall lift up the wings, as the eagles: they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
