## Isaiah 41:1-2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/41/1) Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew *their* strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/41/2) Who raised up the righteous *man* from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made *him* rule over kings? he gave *them* as the dust to his sword, *and* as driven stubble to his bow.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/41/3) He pursued them, *and* passed safely; *even* by the way *that* he had not gone with his feet.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/41/4) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/41/5) The isles saw *it*, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
 
[Isaiah 40](/kjv/isaiah/40) [Isaiah 42](/kjv/isaiah/42)
