Isaiah 41:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² “Who caused the man to come from the east?
    Who gives the man victories everywhere he goes?
The one who brought him gives nations over to him.
    He defeats kings for him.
The man uses his sword, and the kings become like dust.
    He uses his bow, and they are blown away like chaff.
³ He chases them and is never hurt.
    He goes places where he has never been before.
⁴ Who caused this to happen?
    Who has controlled history since the beginning?
I, the Lord, am the one. I was here at the beginning.
    And I will be here when all things are finished.”
