Isaiah 41:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Tell me, who has woken up that king in the east?
    Who has chosen that king to serve him?
He has given that king power over many nations,
    so that the kings of those nations must obey him.
He uses that king's weapons to destroy other nations.
    He blows them away like dust or straw.
³ That king chases quickly after them,
    and nothing hurts him.
His feet do not seem to touch the ground!
⁴ Tell me, who has caused these things to happen?
Who has decided what should happen,
    from the beginning, century after century?
It is I, the Lord!
I was there at the beginning,
    and I will always be there, through to the end.
