Isaiah 59:13-17

13We have rebelled and denied the Lord. We have turned away from our God. We have spoken about oppression and revolt. We have conceived and uttered lies in our hearts.

14Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away. Truth has fallen in the street, and honesty can’t come in.

15Truth is missing. Those who turn away from evil make themselves victims. The Lord sees it, and he’s angry because there’s no justice.

16He sees that there’s no one to help. He’s astounded that there’s no one to intercede. So with his own power he wins a victory. His righteousness supports him.

17He puts on righteousness like a coat of armor and a helmet of salvation on his head. He wears clothes of vengeance. He wraps himself with fury as a coat.
