Isaiah 41

YHWH calls the coastlands and nations to silence and renew their strength to present their case, declaring His stirring up a conqueror from the east (Cyrus) who subdues nations effortlessly, while idolaters encourage one another futilely.[1][2][3] YHWH reassures Israel, His worm-like servant, of victory over enemies, provision for the needy with water and trees in the desert, and challenges idols to trial, proving them powerless and worthless abominations.[1][3][4]
