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)”
