Isaiah 40:29-31
40:29 a The weak in this context are those who face persecution or oppression (such as the Babylonian exile); the Lord is their only recourse (see 49:4-5 b; 50:4 c; Pss 68:9 d; 119:28 e).40:31 f trust in the Lord: See 33:2 g; 49:23 h; 51:5 i.
• like eagles: This powerful image of rescue reminded readers of the Exodus event of long ago (Exod 19:4 j; Deut 32:10-12 k; see also Ps 103:5 l).
