Isaiah 41:2

Who [besides God] has raised anyone from the east (sunrise),
who calls for righteousness to his steps [literally: legs/feet]?
[The Persian king Cyrus (600-530 BC) came from the east, see Isa. 44:28. Verse 25 also mentions the north—which correctly describes how he came via Babylon in the north. The text does not say that Cyrus himself is righteous, but he does what is righteous and frees the Jews from their captivity.]
He gives (places) the countries before him
and lets him rule over kings.
His sword reduces them to dust,
his bow reduces them to chaff that blows away (goes with the wind).
