15 Truth is lacking,
    and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

The Redeemer of Zion

Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him
    that there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no man
    and was astonished that there was no intercessor;
therefore, His own arm brought salvation to Him,
    and His righteousness sustained Him.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate
    and a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing
    and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

    and wrapped himself in zeal(K) as in a cloak.
