Isaiah 40:30

¹⁴Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.

¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁸Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.

¹⁷Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

¹¹I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

¹¹Therefore I am full of the LORD’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.

⁵Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.

²¹For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
