23 He gave princes to nothing; he made the judges of the earth as vanity. 24 Also they were not planted: also they were not sown: also their stock took not root in the earth: and he also blew upon them and they will be dried up, and the storm will lift them up as straw. 25 And to whom will ye liken me, and shall I be equal? will say the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who created these, bringing forth their army by number: he will call to all of them by name, from the multitude of their strength; and he is strong of power; a man was not wanting. 27 For what wilt thou say, O Jacob, and wilt thou speak, O Israel, My way was hid from Jehovah, and my judgment will pass over from my God. 28 Didst thou not know? heardest thou not the eternal God, Jehovah, creating the extremities of the earth, will not faint, and will not be weary? no searching to his understanding. 29 He gave power to the faint; and to the not strong he will increase strength. 30 And the boys shall be faint and weary, and the young men faltering, shall become feeble. 31 And they waiting for Jehovah shall change power; they shall go up on the wing as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall go and not faint.
