Isaiah 59:18-20
International Children’s Bible
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.
He will give them the punishment they should have.
19 Then people from the west will fear the Lord.
People in 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 close relative who will save you will come to Jerusalem.
He will come to the people of Jacob who sinned but turned back to God,”
says the Lord.
Isaiah 59:18-20

so will he repay(A)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(B) their due.
19 From the west,(C) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(D) they will revere his glory.(E)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(F) of the Lord drives along.[a]
