Isaiah 59:15-20
Lexham English Bible
15 and truth is missing,
and he who turns aside from evil is plundered.
And Yahweh saw,
and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice
16 And he saw that there was no man,
and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes,
so[a] his arm came to assist him,
and his righteousness was what[b] sustained him.
17 And he put on righteousness like a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation on his head,
and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and he wrapped himself in zeal as in a robe.
18 According to deeds, so he will repay;
wrath to his enemies, requital to those who are his enemies.[c]
He will repay requital to the coastlands.
19 So[d] they shall fear the name of Yahweh from the west,
and his glory from the sunrise,
for he will come like a narrow stream;
the wind of Yahweh drives it on.
20 “And a redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who turn away from transgression,”
declares[e] Yahweh.

English Standard Version
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.
