Isaiah 59:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ He saw that there was nobody who would help,
    and he was very upset.
So he used his own strength to help.
Because he had to do what was right,
    he made his people safe.
¹⁷ He always does what is right,
    like a soldier who always puts on his armour.
His power to save people
    is like the helmet that he wears.
He is angry against people who do evil things,
    and he works hard to punish them.
That is like the clothes that he wears.
¹⁸ He will punish his enemies
    for the bad things that they have done.
He will be very angry with them.
He will punish all his enemies,
    even those who live in lands far away.
