Isaias

21 Do ye not know? do ye not hear? hath it not been told to you from the beginning? have ye not discerned from the founda- ’of the earth?

22 He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants habitants are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as fine gauze, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

23 That giveth over chiefs to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as waste.

24 Yea, they have not been planted, yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth; and he - even bloweth upon them, and they wither, and a whirlwind taketh ’ - them away as stubble.

25 To whom then will ye liken me, and I shall be equal to him? saith the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? he who bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name, from the greatness of his might, and being strong in power: not one is missing.

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment will pass away from my God?

28 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard? an everlasting God is the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth; he fainteth not, neither is—there is no searching of his—

29 Giving power to the weary; and to the powerless he in- ’ creaseth strength. ’

30 And youths faint and are weary, and young men stumble:

31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew strength; they ’shall lift up wings like the eagles: they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
