Isaiah 59:17–20

17 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 zeal as a cloak.

18 According to their deeds, so will he repay,

wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies;

to the coastlands he will render repayment.

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

and his glory from the rising of the sun;

for he will come like a rushing stream,

which the wind of the Lord drives.

20 “And a Redeemer will come to Zion,

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

17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate,

And an helmet of salvation upon his head;

And he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,

And was clad with zeal as a cloke.

18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay,

Fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies;

To the islands he will repay recompence.

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

And his glory from the rising of the sun.

When the enemy shall come in like a flood,

The Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion,

And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

17 He put on righteousness as his body armor

and placed the helmet of salvation on his head.

He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance

and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.

18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds.

His fury will fall on his foes.

He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.

19 In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord;

in the east, they will glorify him.

For he will come like a raging flood tide

driven by the breath of the Lord.

20 “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem

to buy back those in Israel

who have turned from their sins,”

says the Lord.

17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,

And a helmet of salvation on His head;

He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,

And was clad with zeal as a cloak.

18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,

Fury to His adversaries,

Recompense to His enemies;

The coastlands He will fully repay.

19 So shall they fear

The name of the Lord from the west,

And His glory from the rising of the sun;

When the enemy comes in like a flood,

The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion,

And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”

Says the Lord.

17 He covered himself with goodness like armor.

He put the helmet of salvation on his head.

He put on his clothes for punishing

and wrapped himself in the coat of his strong love.

18 The Lord will pay back his enemies for what they have done.

He will show his anger to those who were against him;

he will punish the people in faraway places as they deserve.

19 Then people from the west will fear the Lord,

and people from the east will fear his glory.

The Lord will come quickly like a fast-flowing river,

driven by the breath of the Lord.

20 “Then a Savior will come to Jerusalem

and to the people of Jacob who have turned from sin,”

says the Lord.

17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle. 18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. 19 So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth. 20 And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.

17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. 18 According to deeds, so will he repay: fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. 19 And they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and from the rising of the sun, his glory. When the adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah will lift up a banner against him. 20 And the Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.

17 He puts on righteousness like a coat of armor 

and a helmet of salvation on his head. 

He wears clothes of vengeance. 

He wraps himself with fury as a coat. 

18 He will pay them back according to their deeds. 

He will pay back his opponents with wrath and punish his enemies. 

He will pay back the people who live on the coastlands. 

19 The people of the west will fear the name of the Lord. 

Those in the east will fear his glory. 

He will come like a rushing stream. 

The wind of the Lord pushes him. 

20 “Then a Savior will come to Zion, 

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

17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate,

and a helmet of salvation on His head;

He put on garments of vengeance for clothing,

and He wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak.

18 So He will repay according to their deeds:

fury to His enemies,

retribution to His foes,

and He will repay the coastlands.

19 They will fear the name of Yahweh in the west

and His glory in the east;

for He will come like a rushing stream

driven by the wind of the Lord.

20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion,

and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression.”

This is the Lord’s declaration.

17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate

and a helmet of salvation on his head;

he put on garments of vengeance for clothing

and wrapped himself in fury as in a mantle.

18 According to their deeds, so will he repay

wrath to his adversaries, requital to his enemies;

to the coastlands he will render requital.

19 So those in the west shall fear the name of the Lord,

and those in the east, his glory,

for he will come like a pent-up stream

that the wind of the Lord drives on.

20 And he will come to Zion as Redeemer,

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

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.

He will repay requital to the coastlands.

19 So 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 Yahweh.

17 He will put the armor of holiness on his chest.

He’ll put the helmet of salvation on his head.

He’ll pay people back for the wrong things they do.

He’ll wrap himself in anger as if it were a coat.

18 He will pay his enemies back for what they have done.

He’ll pour his anger out on them.

He’ll punish those who attack him.

He’ll give the people in the islands what they have coming to them.

19 People in the west will show respect for the Lord’s name.

People in the east will worship him because of his glory.

The Lord will come like a rushing river that was held back.

His breath will drive it along.

20 “I set my people free. I will come to Mount Zion.

I will come to those in Jacob’s family who turn away from their sins,”

announces the Lord.

17 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 wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.

18 According to their deeds, so He will repay,

Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies;

To the coastlands He will make recompense.

19 So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west

And His glory from the rising of the sun,

For He will come like a rushing stream

Which the wind of the Lord drives.

20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion,

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