Isaiah 40:25-31
25“1To whom then will you compare Me That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One.262Raise your eyes on high And see 3who has created these stars, The 4One who brings out their 5multitude by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the 6greatness of His might and the 7strength of His power, 8Not one of them is missing.
279Why do you say, Jacob, and you assert, Israel, “My way is 10hidden from the Lord, And the 11justice due me 12escapes the notice of 13my God”?2814Do you not know? Have you not heard? The 15Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is 16unsearchable.29He gives strength to the 17weary, And to the one who lacks might He 18increases power.30Though 19youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous 20young men stumble badly,31Yet those who 21wait for the Lord Will 22gain new strength; They will 2324mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
