Isaiah 41:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Who woke up the man who is coming from the east?
    He called Justice to march with him.
He uses his sword to crush nations.
    He uses his bow and conquers kings—
    they run away like straw blown by the wind.
³ He chases armies and is never hurt.
    He goes places he has never been before.
⁴ Who was able to make all this happen?
    Who controlled the lives of everyone from the beginning?
I, the Lord, am the one.
    I was here at the beginning,
    and I will be here when all things are finished.
