28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?(A)
The Lord is the everlasting(B) God,
    the Creator(C) of the ends of the earth.(D)
He will not grow tired or weary,(E)
    and his understanding no one can fathom.(F)
29 He gives strength(G) to the weary(H)
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men(I) stumble and fall;(J)
31 but those who hope(K) in the Lord
    will renew their strength.(L)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(M)
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.(N)

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, 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 them that have 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 upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God Disciplines His Children

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.(B) And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not lose heart(C) when he rebukes you,
