2. Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.
3. He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
4. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.
5. The isles saw, and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they drew near, and came.
6. They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
