Commentaire sur Isaïe 40:31
וְקוֹיֵ֤ יְהוָה֙ יַחֲלִ֣יפוּ כֹ֔חַ יַעֲל֥וּ אֵ֖בֶר כַּנְּשָׁרִ֑ים יָר֙וּצוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יִיגָ֔עוּ יֵלְכ֖וּ וְלֹ֥א יִיעָֽפוּ׃ (פ)
Ceux qui mettent leur espoir en Dieu acquièrent de nouvelles forces, ils prennent le rapide essor des aigles; ils courent et ne sont pas fatigués, ils vont et ne se lassent point.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
אבר Wing. Comp. Ps. 55:7.—The sense of the whole verse seems to be this: The Israelites that trusted in the Almighty will be strengthened by Him, and He will bring them back to Jerusalem; the Babylonians, who are now mighty, will be weakened.
