Isaiah 59:17
Contemporary English Version
17 (A) Justice was the Lord's armor;
saving power was his helmet;
anger and revenge
were his clothes.
Ephesians 6:13-17
Contemporary English Version
13 So put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day[a] comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.
14 (A)(B) Be ready! Let the truth be like a belt around your waist, and let God's justice protect you like armor. 15 (C) Your desire to tell the good news about peace should be like shoes on your feet. 16 Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 (D) Let God's saving power be like a helmet, and for a sword use God's message that comes from the Spirit.
