Isaiah 40:27-31
New American Standard Bible
27 (A)Why do you say, Jacob, and you assert, Israel,
“My way is (B)hidden from the Lord,
And the (C)justice due me [a]escapes the notice of (D)my God”?
28 (E)Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The (F)Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is (G)unsearchable.
29 He gives strength to the (H)weary,
And to the one who lacks might He (I)increases power.
30 Though (J)youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous (K)young men stumble badly,
31 Yet those who [b]wait for the Lord
Will (L)gain new strength;
They will [c](M)mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

Isaiah 40:27-31
American Standard Version
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and the justice due to me is passed away from my God? 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? [a]The everlasting God, Jehovah, 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 him that hath 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 for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
