Isaiah 59:14-20

Isaiah 59:14-20

[14] And judgment  is turned away  backward,  and justice  standeth  afar off:  for truth  is fallen  in the street,  and equity  cannot  enter.  [15] Yea, truth  faileth;  and he that departeth  from evil  maketh himself a prey:  and the LORD  saw  him that there was no judgment.  [16] And he saw  that there was no man,  and wondered  that there was no intercessor:  therefore his arm  brought salvation  unto him; and his righteousness,  it sustained  him. [17] For he put on  righteousness  as a breastplate,  and an helmet  of salvation  upon his head;  and he put on  the garments  of vengeance  for clothing,  and was clad  with zeal  as a cloke.  [18] According to  their deeds,  accordingly he will repay,  fury  to his adversaries,  recompence  to his enemies;  to the islands  he will repay  recompence.  [19] So shall they fear  the name  of the LORD  from the west,  and his glory  from the rising  of the sun.  When the enemy  shall come in  like a flood,  the Spirit  of the LORD  shall lift up a standard  against him. [20] And the Redeemer  shall come  to Zion,  and unto them that turn  from transgression  in Jacob,  saith  the LORD.
