15 
Yes, truth is missing;
And he who turns away from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw it,
And it [a]displeased Him that there was no justice.
16 
He saw that there was no man,
And was amazed that there was no one to intercede [on behalf of truth and right];
Therefore His own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His own righteousness sustained Him.(A)
17 
For He [the Lord] put on righteousness like a coat of armor,
And salvation like a helmet on His head;
He put on garments of vengeance for clothing
And covered Himself with zeal [and great love for His people] as a cloak.(B)
