Isaiah 59:15-20
World English Bible
15 Yes, truth is lacking;
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
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.
Isaiah 59:15-20

15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.
16 (A)He saw that there was no man,
and wondered that there was no one to intercede;
then his own arm brought him salvation,
and his righteousness upheld him.
17 (B)He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and wrapped himself in (C)zeal as a cloak.
18 (D)According to their deeds, so will he repay,
wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;
(E)to the coastlands he will render repayment.
19 (F)So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west,
and his glory from the rising of the sun;
(G)for he will come like a rushing stream,[b]
which the wind of the Lord drives.
20 (H)“And (I)a Redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord.
