Isaiah 59:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 and truth is missing,
and he who turns aside from evil is plundered.
And Yahweh saw,
and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice
16 And he saw that there was no man,
and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes,
so[a] his arm came to assist him,
and his righteousness was what[b] sustained him.
17 And he put on righteousness like a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation on his head,
and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and he wrapped himself in zeal as in a robe.

New International Version
15 Truth(A) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(B)
16 He saw that there was no one,(C)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(D)
so his own arm achieved salvation(E) for him,
and his own righteousness(F) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(G)
and the helmet(H) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(I) of vengeance(J)
and wrapped himself in zeal(K) as in a cloak.
