Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.

“Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
    calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)

    to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
    by a path his feet have not traveled before.
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)
