Isaiah 41:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 41:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
A Mystery Man Is Summoned From the East
2 Who has aroused this one from the east?
In righteousness he summons him to his feet.
He gives nations to him
and causes him to rule over kings.
He makes them like dust with his sword,
like wind-driven stubble with his bow.
3 He pursues them and passes by safely.
His feet do not touch the ground.[a]
4 Who accomplished this and carried it out
by summoning generations from the beginning?
The Lord Controls History
I, the Lord, am the first,
and at the very end I will still be the one.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 41:3 Literally he does not enter a path with his feet. This seems to mean that he moves so fast that his feet don’t touch the ground, or that he goes in new paths where he has never gone before, or that he quickly gains new territory.

New International Version
2 “Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(E) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(I) forth the generations from the beginning?(J)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(K)—I am he.(L)”
