Isaiah 40:25–31

²⁵“So who will you compare me to?

Who is equal to me?” says the Holy One.

²⁶Look up toward the sky.

Who created everything you see?

The Lord causes the stars to come out at night one by one.

He gives each one of them a name.

His power and strength are great.

So none of the stars is missing.

²⁷Family of Jacob, why do you say,

“The Lord doesn’t notice our condition”?

People of Israel, why do you say,

“Our God doesn’t pay any attention to our rightful claims”?

²⁸Don’t you know who made everything?

Haven’t you heard about him?

The Lord is the God who lives forever.

He created everything on earth.

He won’t become worn out or get tired.

No one will ever know how great his understanding is.

²⁹He gives strength to those who are tired.

He gives power to those who are weak.

³⁰Even young people become worn out and get tired.

Even the best of them trip and fall.

³¹But those who trust in the Lord

will receive new strength.

They will fly as high as eagles.

They will run and not get tired.

They will walk and not grow weak.
