Isaiah 59:16-20 (Listen)

• Isaiah 58
• Isaiah 59
• Isaiah 60

16 qHe 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 rHe 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 szeal as a cloak.

18 tAccording to their deeds, so will he repay,

wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;

uto the coastlands he will render repayment.

19 vSo they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west,

and his glory from the rising of the sun;

wfor he will come like a rushing stream,1

which the wind of the Lord drives.

20 x“And ya Redeemer will come to Zion,

to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord.
