Isaiah:40:19-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The workman melteth a graven image ,
and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold ,
and casteth silver chains .
*
He that is so impoverished (
8676 )
that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot ;
he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image ,
that shall not be moved .
*
Have ye not known ?
have ye not heard ?
hath it not been told you from the beginning ro #
sh #?
have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth ?
*
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth ,
and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers ;
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain ,
and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in :
*
That bringeth the princes to nothing ;
he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity .
*
Yea ,
they shall not be planted ;
yea ,
they shall not be sown :
yea ,
their stock shall not take root in the earth :
and he shall also blow upon them ,
and they shall wither ,
and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble .
*
To whom then will ye liken me ,
or shall I be equal ?
saith the Holy One .
*
Lift up your eyes on high ,
and behold who hath created these things ,
that bringeth out their host by number :
he callet them all by names by the greatness of his might ,
for that he is strong in power ;
not one faileth .
*
Why sayest thou ,
O Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
and speakest ,
O Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 ya #@
ph #;
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 .
