Isa. 40:28-31
Isa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isa 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isa 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.

Manasseh is the name of several men in the Old Testament. Manasseh means causing to forget.
- Manasseh is the firstborn son of Joseph and Asenath. Joseph was Hebrew, and Asenath was Egyptian; therefore, Manasseh was half-Hebrew and half-Egyptian. He had one brother named Ephraim, and Jacob, their grandfather, adopted both boys.
- Manasseh's name appears in the book of Revelation as one of the twelve tribes making up the 144,000.
- Manasseh is the son of Hezekiah and Hephzibah. He was the fourteenth king of the kingdom of Judah. He began to reign at age 12, and he reigned for 55 years. He reigned longer than any other king, and he was evil. He reversed all the good that his father Hezekiah had accomplished. He worshipped false gods and built altars in their honor. He sacrificed his children and killed anyone that opposed him. He placed a carved image in the house of God. The Lord allowed the Assyrians to capture Manasseh and carried him to Babylon, bound in fetters. While in Babylonian captivity, he humbled himself and prayed to the Lord. God heard his prayer and allowed him to return to Jerusalem. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was the only God. He tried to undo some of the wrongs that he had previously done. When he died, they buried him in his own house.
