Isaiah 41:2-4

Modern English Version

² Who raised up the righteous man from the east,
    called him to His foot,
gave the nations before him,
    and made him rule over kings?
He makes them as the dust with his sword,
    and as driven stubble with his bow.
³ He pursued them, and passed safely,
    by paths his feet have not traveled.
⁴ Who has performed and done this,
    calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, am the first,
    and with the last. I am He.
