“He saw that there was no man,and wondered that there was no intercessor.Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him;and his righteousness sustained him.”
Isaiah 59:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14Justice is turned away backward,and righteousness stands far away;for truth has fallen in the street,and uprightness can’t enter. 15Yes, truth is lacking;and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.Yahweh saw it,and it displeased him that there was no justice. 16He saw that there was no man,and wondered that there was no intercessor.Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him;and his righteousness sustained him. 17He put on righteousness as a breastplate,and a helmet of salvation on his head.He put on garments of vengeance for clothing,and was clad with zeal as a mantle. 18According to their deeds,he will repay as appropriate:wrath to his adversaries,recompense to his enemies.He will repay the islands their due.
