The Lord Will Help Israel

41 The Lord says, “Faraway countries, listen to me.
    Let the nations become strong.
Come to me and speak;
    we will meet together to decide who is right.

“Who caused the one to come from the east?
    Who gives him victories everywhere he goes?
The one who brought him gives nations over to him
    and defeats kings.
He uses his sword, and kings become like dust.
    He uses his bow, and they are blown away like chaff.

    calling him in righteousness(H) to his service[a]?(I)

    and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(J) with his sword,
    to windblown chaff(K) with his bow.(L)
