Isaiah 41:1-2
New International Version - UK
The helper of Israel
41 ‘Be silent before me, you islands!
Let the nations renew their strength!
Let them come forward and speak;
let us meet together at the place of judgment.
2 ‘Who has stirred up one from the east,
calling him in righteousness to his service?[a]
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust with his sword,
to wind-blown chaff with his bow.
