Wisdom 5:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Therefore shall they receive the splendid crown,
the beautiful diadem, from the hand of the Lord,
For he will shelter them with his right hand,
and protect them with his arm.(A)
17 He shall take his zeal for armor(B)
and arm creation to requite the enemy,
18 Shall put on righteousness for a breastplate,
wear sure judgment for a helmet,
