Isaiah 41:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 “Who has stirred up a king from the east?
Who has helped him win his battles?
I hand nations over to him.
I bring kings under his control.
He turns them into dust with his sword.
With his bow he turns them into straw blowing in the wind.
3 He hunts them down. Then he moves on unharmed.
He travels so fast that his feet
don’t seem to touch the ground.
4 Who has made that happen? Who has carried it out?
Who has created all the people who have ever lived?
I, the Lord, have done it.
I was with the first of them.
And I will be with the last of them.”
Isaiah 41:2-4
New International Version
2 “Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(E) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(I) forth the generations from the beginning?(J)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(K)—I am he.(L)”
