  1. Isaiah 59:15 Lit. it was evil in His eyes

16 As for me, (A)I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,

17 Do not be a terror to me;
(B)You are my hope in the day of doom.
18 (C)Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But (D)do not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And (E)destroy[a] them with double destruction!
