they will run and not become weary,
they will walk and not faint.

30 There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd demanded that they keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” (A)

Boasting Only in the Lord
26 Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective,[a] not many powerful,(A) not many of noble birth. 27 Instead, God has chosen(B) what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. 28 God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world(C)—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, 29 so that no one[b] may boast in his presence.(D) 30 It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us—our righteousness,(E) sanctification,(F) and redemption(G)— 31 in order that, as it is written:(H) Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.[c](I)
