Isaiah 59:16-18
GOD’S WORD Translation
16 He sees that there’s no one to help.
He’s astounded that there’s no one to intercede.
So with his own power he wins a victory.
His righteousness supports him.
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.
Isaiah 59:16-18
New International Version
16 He saw that there was no one,(A)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation(C) for him,
and his own righteousness(D) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(E)
and the helmet(F) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(G) of vengeance(H)
and wrapped himself in zeal(I) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(J)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(K) their due.
