Isaiah 59:20

Compare all

18 ^aAccording to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.

19 ^aSo shall they fear
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.

20 “The^a Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the Lord.

21 “As^a for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”

Isaiah 59:20

Unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob "And shall turn away iniquity from Jacob" - So the Septuagint and St. Paul, Romans 11:26, reading instead of leshabey and beyaacob , veheshib and meyaacob . The Syriac likewise reads veheshib ; and the Chaldee, to the same sense, ulehashib . Our translators have expressed the sense of the present reading of the Hebrew text: "And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob."
