Isaiah 59:16-20
New American Standard Bible
16 And He saw that there was (A)no one,
And was amazed that there was not one to intercede;
Then His (B)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.
17 He put on (C)righteousness like a breastplate,
And a (D)helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on (E)garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with (F)zeal as a cloak.
18 (G)According to their deeds, [a]so will He repay:
Wrath to His adversaries, [b]retribution to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will [c]deal [d]retribution.
19 So they will fear the name of the Lord from the (H)west
And His glory from the (I)rising of the sun,
For He will (J)come like a [e]rushing stream
Which the wind of the Lord drives.
20 “A (K)Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those in Jacob who (L)turn from wrongdoing,” declares the Lord.

Isaiah 59:16-20
New International Version
16 He saw that there was no one,(A)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation(C) for him,
and his own righteousness(D) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(E)
and the helmet(F) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(G) of vengeance(H)
and wrapped himself in zeal(I) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(J)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(K) their due.
19 From the west,(L) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(M) they will revere his glory.(N)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(O) of the Lord drives along.[a]
