Isaiah 59:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and wrapped himself in fury as in a mantle.
18 According to their deeds, so will he repay;
wrath to his adversaries, requital to his enemies;
to the coastlands he will render requital.
19 So those in the west shall fear the name of the Lord,
and those in the east, his glory;
for he will come like a pent-up stream
that the wind of the Lord drives on.
Isaiah 59:17-19

18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(F)

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)
