Isaiah 59:16-18
Easy-to-Read Version
16 He did not see anyone speak up for the people.
He was shocked to see that no one stood up for them.
So with his own power he saved them.
His desire to do what is right gave him strength.
17 He put on the armor of goodness,
the helmet of salvation,
the uniform of punishment,
and the coat of strong love.[a]
18 He will give his enemies the punishment they deserve.
They will feel his anger.
He will punish all his enemies.
People along the coast will get the punishment they deserve.

Isaiah 59:16-18
New International Version
16 He saw that there was no one,(A)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation(C) for him,
and his own righteousness(D) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(E)
and the helmet(F) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(G) of vengeance(H)
and wrapped himself in zeal(I) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(J)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(K) their due.
