“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.”
Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary, establishing that those who trust in God and await God's action will experience renewal and the ability to endure. The oracle uses the imagery of eagles' wings to suggest the restoration of vitality and the transcendence of ordinary limitations. The affirmation concludes chapter 40 with the promise that faith and waiting upon God issue in strength and endurance. The chapter concludes the opening section of the second half of Isaiah with the affirmation of God's incomparability and the promise of strength to those who trust in God.
