Isaiah 41:2-4 Who hath raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attendeth? He giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; his sword maketh them as the dust, his bow as the driven stubble.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Who hath raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attendeth? He giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; his sword maketh them as the dust, his bow as the driven stubble. ³ He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; the way with his feet he treadeth not. ⁴ Who hath wrought and done it? He that called the generations from the beginning. I, the LORD, who am the first, and with the last am the same.
