Yesaya 41:25
Konteks41:25 I have stirred up one out of the north 1 and he advances,
one from the eastern horizon who prays in my name. 2
He steps on 3 rulers as if they were clay,
like a potter treading the clay.
Yesaya 57:20
Konteks57:20 But the wicked are like a surging sea
that is unable to be quiet;
its waves toss up mud and sand.
[41:25] 1 sn That is, Cyrus the Persian. See the note at v. 2.
[41:25] 2 tn Heb “[one] from the rising of the sun [who] calls in my name.”
[41:25] 3 tn The Hebrew text has וְיָבֹא (vÿyavo’, “and he comes”), but this is likely a corruption of an original וַיָּבָס (vayyavas), from בּוּס (bus, “step on”).
