Isaiah 59:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ He could not find anyone to help the people.
    He was surprised that there was no one to help.
So the Lord used his own power to save the people.
    His own goodness gave him strength.
¹⁷ The Lord covered himself with goodness like armor.
    He put on the helmet of salvation.
He put on the clothes of punishment.
    And he put on the coat of his strong love.
¹⁸ The Lord will pay back his enemies for what they have done.
    He will show his anger to those who were against him.
He will punish the people in faraway places.
    He will give them the punishment they should have.
