41 ‘You islands, be quiet as you listen to me.
The nations need to come and stand in front of me.
    So they must be brave and speak to me.
We must meet together to decide who is right.
² Tell me, who has woken up that king in the east?
    Who has chosen that king to serve him?
He has given that king power over many nations,
    so that the kings of those nations must obey him.
He uses that king's weapons to destroy other nations.
    He blows them away like dust or straw.
