Isaiah 40:29

Strength and help in weaknessExhaustionGod's power and sovereigntyComfort

27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God”?

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.

He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.

31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
