Isaiah 41:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Who has aroused victory from the east,
and[a] has summoned it to his service,
and[b] has handed over nations to him?
Who brings down kings,
and[c] turns them into dust with his sword,
into windblown stubble with his bow?
3 And[d] who pursues them
and[e] moves on unscathed
by a path that his feet don’t know?[f]
4 Who has performed and carried this out,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—the first
and will be with the last
—I am the One!”

New International Version
2 “Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(E) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(I) forth the generations from the beginning?(J)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(K)—I am he.(L)”
