Isaiah 40:25-31

25“1To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One.262Lift up your eyes on high And see 3who has created these stars, The 4One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the 5greatness of His might and the 6strength of His power, 7Not one of them is missing.

278Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is 9hidden from the Lord, And the 10justice due me 11escapes the notice of 12my God”?2813Do you not know? Have you not heard? The 14Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is 15inscrutable.29He gives strength to the 16weary, And to him who lacks might He 17increases power.30Though 18youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous 19young men stumble badly,31Yet those who 20wait for the Lord Will 21gain new strength; They will 2223mount up with 24wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
