The verses around Isaiah 40:29.
27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28Hast 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.
29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But 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.
Verse explanation
"Giveth power to the faint," as the KJV puts it, sums up the kind of help offered: not instant deliverance from every problem, but a renewal of strength for those who had none left, the exact target audience of the exhausted exiles.
From the Isaiah 40 study in Bible in Stories.
