Isaiah 59:15-20

15Honesty has disappeared; the one who tries to avoid evil is robbed. The Lord watches and is displeased, for there is no justice.

16He sees there is no advocate; he is shocked that no one intervenes. So he takes matters into his own hands; his desire for justice drives him on.

17He wears his desire for justice like body armor, and his desire to deliver is like a helmet on his head. He puts on the garments of vengeance and wears zeal like a robe.

18He repays them for what they have done, dispensing angry judgment to his adversaries and punishing his enemies. He repays the coastlands.

19In the west, people respect the Lord’s reputation; in the east they recognize his splendor. For he comes like a rushing stream driven on by wind sent from the Lord.

20“A protector comes to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their rebellious deeds,” says the Lord.
