18 God will repay according to their actions:
    wrath to his foes, retribution to enemies,
    retribution to the coastlands,
19     so those in the west will fear the Lord’s name,
    and those in the east will fear God’s glory.
It will come like a rushing river
    that the Lord’s wind drives on.
20 A redeemer will come to Zion
    and to those in Jacob who stop rebelling,
    says the Lord.

wrath to his enemies

19 From the west,(C) people will fear the name of the Lord,
    and from the rising of the sun,(D) they will revere his glory.(E)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
    that the breath(F) of the Lord drives along.[a]

    to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(I)
declares the Lord.
