Isaiah 59:15-17
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 59:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 Truth is lacking,
And one who turns aside from evil (A)makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was [a]displeasing in His sight (B)that there was no justice.
16 And He saw that there was (C)no one,
And was amazed that there was not one to intercede;
Then His (D)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.
17 He put on (E)righteousness like a breastplate,
And a (F)helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on (G)garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with (H)zeal as a cloak.

15 Truth(A) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(B)
16 He saw that there was no one,(C)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(D)
so his own arm achieved salvation(E) for him,
and his own righteousness(F) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(G)
and the helmet(H) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(I) of vengeance(J)
and wrapped himself in zeal(K) as in a cloak.
