Isaiah 40:31
“But those who wait for Yahweh 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.”
This verse comes from the prophet Isaiah, specifically from a section (chapters 40-55) often called 'Second Isaiah' or 'Deutero-Isaiah'. This part of the book addresses the Judean people who are in exile in Babylon, offering comfort, hope, and a vision of restoration. The prophet speaks of God's incomparable power and faithfulness, contrasting it with human frailty and the impotence of idols.
