Isaiah 59:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version
19 People from the west to the east will fear the Lord
and respect his Glory.
He will come quickly, like a fast-flowing river
driven by a wind[a] from the Lord.
20 Then a redeemer[b] will come to Zion
to save the people of Jacob who have turned away from sin.
21 The Lord says, “As for me, this is the agreement that I will make with these people. I promise my Spirit that I put on you and my words that I put in your mouth will never leave you. They will be with you and your children and your children’s children, for now and forever.

Isaiah 59:19-21
New International Version
19 From the west,(A) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(B) they will revere his glory.(C)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(D) of the Lord drives along.[a]
20 “The Redeemer(E) will come to Zion,(F)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(G)
declares the Lord.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant(H) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,(I) who is on you, will not depart from you,(J) and my words that I have put in your mouth(K) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.
