Isaiah 41:1-4

1Keep silence before me, O islandsH339; and let the peoplesH3816 renew their strengthH3581: let them come near; thenH227 let them speakH1696; let us come near togetherH3162 to judgmentH4941.

2Who hath raised up one from the eastH4217, whom he calleth in righteousnessH6664 to his footH7272? he giveth nationsH1471 before him, and maketh him ruleH7287 over kingsH4428; he giveth them as the dustH6083 to his swordH2719, as the drivenH5086 stubbleH7179 to his bowH7198.

3He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a wayH734 that he had not goneH935 with his feetH7272.

4Who hath wrought and done it, callingH7121 the generationsH1755 from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the firstH7223, and with the lastH314, I am he.
