Pemikiran Yahudi Yesaya 40:27: Akeidat Yitzchak & Duties

On the other hand, the very factor which entices man to sin is also at work when the righteous decide to disregard this factor. Temptation resisted is worth a greater reward than temptation one has never come to grips with. Isaiah 40,27, "who gives strength to the ya-ef, tired," should be understood thus. The ya-ef is the inert, primordial matter which has been activated by G-d’s directives. We conclude that both natural law and special Providence are required on occasion in order to ensure the survival of mankind. The commentary of Rashi at the beginning of Parshat Bereshit goes beyond the apologetic in vindicating our claim to the land of Israel.

(Yeshaya 40:27), and "Do you not know-if you have not heard-an everlasting G-d is the L-ord, the Creator of the ends of the world; He neither tires nor wearies; there is no fathoming His understanding (i.e. on His providence of all the creations simultaneously - TL)" (Yeshaya 40:28)....)
