Isaiah 40:27-31
World English Bible
27 Why do you say, Jacob,
and speak, Israel,
“My way is hidden from Yahweh,
and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?”
28 Haven’t you known?
Haven’t you heard?
The everlasting God, Yahweh,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint.
He isn’t weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak.
He increases the strength of him who has no might.
30 Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
31 but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.

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.
