Isaiah 59:15-21

English Standard Version

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.
