Study Note
This verse concludes the opening section of Second Isaiah (chapters 40-55) with the promise that those who 'wait upon the LORD' will renew their strength and 'mount up with wings like eagles.' The Hebrew 'qavah' (wait/hope) denotes a purposeful, expectant waiting — not passive resignation but active orientation toward a trusted source. The three ascending images (soaring, running, walking) may be intentionally counter-intuitive: walking without fainting is placed last as the most demanding discipline. The verse was written to encourage Judeans in Babylonian exile whose hope had been exhausted by decades of displacement, making its pastoral resonance endure for subsequent generations facing prolonged waiting.
