מִ֤י הֵעִיר֙ מִמִּזְרָ֔ח צֶ֖דֶק יִקְרָאֵ֣הוּ לְרַגְל֑וֹ יִתֵּ֨ן לְפָנָ֤יו גּוֹיִם֙ וּמְלָכִ֣ים יַ֔רְדְּ יִתֵּ֤ן כֶּֽעָפָר֙ חַרְבּ֔וֹ כְּקַ֥שׁ נִדָּ֖ף קַשְׁתּֽוֹ׃
Siapakah yang membangkitkan seseorang dari timur, yang langkahnya selalu disambut oleh kebenaran? Ia menyerahkan bangsa-bangsa kepadanya dan membuatnya berkuasa atas raja-raja; Ia membuat mereka menjadi seperti debu di hadapan pedangnya, seperti jerami yang tertiup angin di hadapan busurnya.
Taanit
When he arrived there [they opened the chest and saw that it was full of dust]. The king wanted to kill them all. He said, "The Jews are laughing at me!" [He said, ["This is also for the best."] Elijah came and disguised himself as one of them. He said to him, "Perhaps this is dust from the dust of Abraham their father that when you throw the dust in the air it becomes swords and clay becomes arrows. As it says, "He shall make His sword like dust and His bow will spread like straw."(Isaiah 41:2)
