Isaiah 59:15b–21

^16qHe 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.

^17rHe 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.

^18tAccording to their deeds, so will he repay,

wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;

^uto the coastlands he will render repayment.

^19vSo 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,²

which the wind of the Lord drives.

^20x“And ^ya Redeemer will come to Zion,

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

²¹“And as for me, ^zthis is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, ^aand my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore.”
