Isaiah 40:31
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.
KJV
qui autem sperant in Domino mutabunt fortitudinem, assument pennas sicut aquilæ : current et non laborabunt, ambulabunt et non deficient.
Vulgate

LXX
but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
