Isaiah 41:2
New King James Version
2 “Who raised up one (A)from the east?
Who in righteousness called him to His feet?
Who (B)gave the nations before him,
And made him rule over kings?
Who gave them as the dust to his sword,
As driven stubble to his bow?
Isaiah 41:2
English Standard Version
2 (A)Who stirred up one from the east
whom victory meets at every (B)step?[a]
(C)He gives up nations before him,
so that he tramples kings underfoot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
(D)like driven stubble with his bow.
