"Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Verses 27-31. | |

"Hvorfor siger du, Jakob, hvorfor taler du sådan, Israel: "Min vej er skjult for Herren, min ret gled min Gud af hænde." Ved du, hørte du ikke, at Herren er en evig Gud, den vide jord har han skabt? Han trættes og mattes ikke, hans indsigt udgrundes ikke; han giver den trætte kraft, den svage fylde af styrke. Ynglinge trættes og mattes, ungersvende snubler brat, ny kraft får de, der bier på Herren, de får nye svingfjer som ørnen; de løber uden at mattes, vandrer uden at trættes " 27-31. vers. |
