18 (A)According to their [a]deeds, [b]so He will repay,
Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will [c]make recompense.
19 So they will fear the name of the Lord from the (B)west
And His glory from the (C)rising of the sun,
For He will (D)come like a [d]rushing stream
Which the wind of the Lord drives.
20 “A (E)Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who (F)turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares the Lord.
