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.
