Isaiah 41:25

I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,

from the rising of the sun, and he shall call upon my name;

he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,

as the potter treads clay.

“I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes—

one from the rising sun who calls on my name.

He treads on rulers as if they were mortar,

as if he were a potter treading the clay.

“I have stirred up one from the north, and he has come,

one from the east who invokes my name.

He will march over rulers as if they were mud,

like a potter who treads the clay.

“But I have stirred up a leader who will approach from the north.

From the east he will call on my name.

I will give him victory over kings and princes.

He will trample them as a potter treads on clay.

I stirred up one from the north,

and he has come from the rising of the sun.

He shall call on my name,

and he shall come on officials as on mortar,

and as the potter treads clay.

I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come:

From the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name:

And he shall come upon princes as upon morter,

And as the potter treadeth clay.
