Isaiah 40:27-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 Jacob, why do you say,
and Israel, why do you assert:
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
and my claim is ignored by my God”?(A)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Yahweh is the everlasting God,(B)
the Creator of the whole earth.
He never grows faint or weary;
there is no limit to His understanding.(C)
29 He gives strength to the weary
and strengthens the powerless.
30 Youths may faint and grow weary,
and young men stumble and fall,
31 but those who trust in the Lord
will renew their strength;(D)
they will soar on wings like eagles;(E)
they will run and not grow weary;
they will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:27-31
Lexham English Bible
27 Why[a] do you say, Jacob,
and you speak, Israel,
“My way is hidden from Yahweh,
and my judgment is passed over by my God?”
28 Have you not known,
or have you not heard?
Yahweh is the God of eternity,
the creator of the ends of the earth!
He is not faint, and he does not grow weary!
There is no searching his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weary,
and he increases power for the powerless.[b]
30 Even[c] young people will be faint and grow weary,
and the young will stumble, exhausted.
31 But[d] those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength.
They shall go up with wings[e] like eagles;
they shall run and not grow weary;
they shall walk and not be faint.
