19The workman2796 melteth5258 a graven image6459, and the goldsmith6884 spreadeth7554 it over with gold2091, and casteth6884 silver3701 chains7577.

30Even the youths5288 shall faint3286 and be weary3021, and the young men970 shall utterly3782 fall3782:

31But they that wait6960 upon the LORD3068 shall renew2498 their strength3581; they shall mount up5927 with wings83 as eagles5404; they shall run7323, and not be weary3021; and they shall walk3212, and not faint3286. renew: Heb. change
