Isaiah 40:23-31 ▼

23 He who is making princes become nothing, || Has made judges of earth formless;

24 Indeed, they have not been planted, || Indeed, they have not been sown, || Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, || And He has also blown on them, and they wither, || And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

25 And to whom do you liken Me, || And [to whom] I equal? Says the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, || And see—who has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, || He calls to all of them by name, || By the abundance of His strength || And mighty power, || Not one is lacking.

27 Why say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, || And from my God my judgment passes over?”

28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, || Preparer of the ends of the earth, || Is not wearied nor fatigued, || There is no searching of His understanding.

29 He is giving power to the weary, || And to those not strong He increases might.

30 Even youths are wearied and fatigued, || And young men utterly stumble,

31 But those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, || They raise up the pinion as eagles, || They run and are not fatigued, || They go on and do not faint!
