The word that asks who has raised up one from the east
누가 동방에서 사람을 일으켰느냐고 묻는 말씀
Isaiah 41:1–7: the text says, “Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment. Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow. He pursues them and passes by safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet. Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.” It goes on, “The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come. Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, ‘Be strong!’ So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, ‘It is good;’ and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.” These verses carry no formula naming who speaks; 41:4 reads “I, the LORD”. Neither edition says who the one raised up from the east at 41:2 is. WEB closes at the end of 41:4 the quotation it opens at 41:1. The Korean Revised Version speaks to the peoples at 41:1 (민족들아 힘을 새롭게 하라 가까이 나아오라 그리하고 말하라, calling on the peoples themselves to renew their strength, come near and speak), where WEB reads “let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak”; puts 41:3 in the past (안전히 지났나니, passed by safely); and names the idol at 41:7 (우상으로 흔들리지 않게, so that the idol does not totter), where WEB reads “that it might not totter”.
