Isaiah 59:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.
In context
15 Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.
17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.
18 So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.
