以赛亚书40：18~31
18 你们究竟将谁比 SHEN ，
用什么形象与 SHEN 比较呢？
19 偶像是匠人铸造，
银匠用金包裹，
为它铸造银链。
20 穷乏献不起这样供物的，
就拣选不能朽坏的树木，
为自己寻找巧匠，
立起不能摇动的偶像。
21 你们岂不曾知道吗？
你们岂不曾听见吗？
从起初岂没有人告诉你们吗？
自从立地的根基，
你们岂没有明白吗？
22 SHEN 坐在地球大圈之上；
地上的居民好像蝗虫。
他铺张穹苍如幔子，
展开诸天如可住的帐棚。
23 他使君王归于虚无，
使地上的审判官成为虚空。
24 他们是刚才栽上，
刚才种上，
根也刚才扎在地里，
他一吹在其上，便都枯干；
旋风将他们吹去，像碎秸一样。
25 那圣者说：你们将谁比我，
叫他与我相等呢？
26 你们向上举目，
看谁创造这万象，
按数目领出，
他一一称其名；
因他的权能，
又因他的大能大力，
连一个都不缺。
27 雅各啊，你为何说，
我的道路向耶/和/华隐藏？
以色列啊，你为何言，
我的冤屈 SHEN 并不查问？
28 你岂不曾知道吗？
你岂不曾听见吗？
永在的 SHEN 耶/和/华，创造地极的主，
并不疲乏，也不困倦；
他的智慧无法测度。
29 疲乏的，他赐能力；
软弱的，他加力量。
30 就是少年人也要疲乏困倦；
强壮的也必全然跌倒。
31 但那等候耶/和/华的必重新得力。
他们必如鹰展翅上腾；
他们奔跑却不困倦，
行走却不疲乏。
18 With whom, then, will you compare God?
To what image will you liken him?
19 As for an idol, a metalworker casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.
20 A person too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
to set up an idol that will not topple.
21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
25 “To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?
28 Do 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.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but 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.
