Isaiah 59:15-20

World English Bible

Yahweh saw it,
    and it displeased him that there was no justice.
¹⁶ He saw that there was no man,
    and wondered that there was no intercessor.
Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him;
    and his righteousness sustained him.
¹⁷ He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
    and a helmet of salvation on his head.
He put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
    and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
¹⁸ According to their deeds,
    he will repay as appropriate,
    wrath to his adversaries,
    recompense to his enemies;
    he will repay the islands their due.
¹⁹ So they will fear Yahweh’s name from the west,
    and his glory from the rising of the sun;
for he will come as a rushing stream,
    which Yahweh’s breath drives.

²⁰ “A Redeemer will come to Zion,
    and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.
