And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
And he who departs from evil makes himself a aprey.
Then the Lord saw it, and1 it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
The Redeemer of Zion
And bwondered that there was no intercessor;
cTherefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
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.
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
The name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in blike a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the Lord.

Isaiah 59:16
No man - To appear in the behalf of equity. His arm - He would do his work without help from any other. Righteousness - His justice; seeing there could be no justice found among them, he would avenge the innocent himself.
| << Isaiah 59:15 | Isaiah 59:17 >> |
