Isaiah 59:17-19
New International Reader's Version
17 He will put the armor of holiness on his chest.
He’ll put the helmet of salvation on his head.
He’ll pay people back for the wrong things they do.
He’ll wrap himself in anger as if it were a coat.
18 He will pay his enemies back for what they have done.
He’ll pour his anger out on them.
He’ll punish those who attack him.
He’ll give the people in the islands what they have coming to them.
19 People in the west will show respect for the Lord’s name.
People in the east will worship him because of his glory.
The Lord will come like a rushing river that was held back.
His breath will drive it along.

Isaiah 59:17-19
New International Version
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(A)
and the helmet(B) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(C) of vengeance(D)
and wrapped himself in zeal(E) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(F)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(G) their due.
19 From the west,(H) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(I) they will revere his glory.(J)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(K) of the Lord drives along.[a]
