Isaiah 40:27

Verse 27 of 31. The 40th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

23who brings princes to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.

24They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

25“To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

26Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. By the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

27Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God”?

28Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

29He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.

30Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;

31but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
