Isaiah 41:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Israel Assured of God’s Help

41 Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;
let the peoples renew their strength;
let them approach, then let them speak;
let us together draw near for judgment.

²Who stirred up one from the east
    whom victory meets at every step?
He gives up nations before him,
    so that he tramples kings under foot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
    like driven stubble with his bow.
³He pursues them and passes on safely,
    by paths his feet have not trod.
