Isaiah 59:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ He will put the armor of holiness on his chest.
    He’ll put the helmet of salvation on his head.
He’ll pay people back for the wrong things they do.
    He’ll wrap himself in anger as if it were a coat.
¹⁸ He will pay his enemies back for what they have done.
    He’ll pour his anger out on them.
He’ll punish those who attack him.
    He’ll give the people in the islands what they have coming to them.
¹⁹ People in the west will show respect for the Lord’s name.
    People in the east will worship him because of his glory.
The Lord will come like a rushing river that was held back.
    His breath will drive it along.
