16 He saw that there was no manand was astonished that there was no intercessor;therefore, His own arm brought salvation to Him,and His righteousness sustained Him.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplateand a helmet of salvation on His head;He put on the garments of vengeance for clothingand was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds,accordingly He will repay:fury to His adversaries,recompense to His enemies;to the islands He will make recompense.
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the westand His glory from the rising of the sun;when the enemy shall come in like a flood,the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
20 The Redeemer shall come to Zionand to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,says the Lord.
21 As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says the Lord: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your descendants, nor out of the mouth of your descendants’ descendants, says the Lord, from this time forth and forever.
