Isaiah 41:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ I have woken up a ruler,
    who is coming with his army from the north.
He comes from a land in the east, where the sun rises,
    and he will use my name to call to me.
He will walk over rulers of other nations
    as if they are mud.
He will push them down with his feet,
    like a potter who prepares his clay.
²⁶ Tell me, who decided in the beginning,
    that all these things must happen?
Who told us about them before they happened?
    Then we could say, “He was right!”
None of your idols said anything about it!
    Nobody heard them say a word!
