Yesaya 59:16-18

The Lord Intervenes

59:16 He sees there is no advocate; ⁴ 

he is shocked ⁵  that no one intervenes.

So he takes matters into his own hands; ⁶ 

his desire for justice drives him on. ⁷ 

59:17 He wears his desire for justice ⁸  like body armor, ⁹ 

and his desire to deliver is like a helmet on his head. ¹⁰ 

He puts on the garments of vengeance ¹¹ 

and wears zeal like a robe.

59:18 He repays them for what they have done,

dispensing angry judgment to his adversaries

and punishing his enemies. ¹² 

He repays the coastlands. ¹³
