Isaiah 41:1-2

World English Bible

41 “Keep silent before me, islands,
    and let the peoples renew their strength.
Let them come near,
    then let them speak.
    Let’s meet together for judgment.
² Who has raised up one from the east?
    Who called him to his foot in righteousness?
    He hands over nations to him
    and makes him rule over kings.
    He gives them like the dust to his sword,
    like the driven stubble to his bow.
