Isaiah 41:2-4

English Standard Version Anglicised

^2 (A)Who stirred up one from the east
    whom victory meets at every ^(B)step?^[a]
(C)He gives up nations before him,
    so that he tramples kings underfoot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
    ^(D)like driven stubble with his bow.
³ He pursues them and passes on safely,
    by paths his feet have not trod.
^4 (E)Who has performed and done this,
    calling the generations from the beginning?
^(F)I, the Lord, the first,
    and with the last; I am he.
