Isaias

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.

XLI. 1 Keep silence before me, O isles; and the peoples shall renew strength; let them come near, then let them speak; let us draw near together to judgment.

2 Who raised up from the East him (whom) Righteousness calleth to his foot; gave up nations before him, maketh him subdue kings; giveth them as dust for his sword, as driven stubble for his bow?

3 He pursueth them, passeth on in peace: a path he shall not go with his feet.

4 Who hath wrought and done it? He that calleth the gene- rations from the beginning; I the LORD am the first, and with the last, I am he.

5 The isles have seen it, and are afraid: the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near, and come. ’
