7The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass.H2682H3001H6731H5034H7307H3068H5380H403H5971H2682
8The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."H2682H3001H6731H5034H1697H430H6965H5769

23He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.H5414H7336H6213H8199H776H8414

25"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.H1819H7737H559H6918
26Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.H5375H5869H4791H7200H1254H3318H6635H4557H7121H8034H7230H202H533H3581H376H5737
27Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"?H559H3290H1696H3478H1870H5641H3068H4941H5674H430
28Do 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, and his understanding no one can fathom.H3045H8085H5769H430H3068H1254H7098H776H3286H3021H2714H8394
29He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.H5414H3581H3287H202H7235H6109
30Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;H5288H3286H3021H970H3782H3782
31but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.H6960H3068H2498H3581H5927H83H5404H7323H3021H3212H3286
