Isaiah 59:16 in Context — Isaiah 59

14 Por isso que o direito retrocedeu, e a justiça ficou de longe; pois a verdade tropeçou na praça, e a correta decisão não pode entrar.

15 E a verdade se perde, e quem se desvia do mal corre o risco de ser saqueado; e o SENHOR o viu, pareceu mal em seus olhos, por não haver justiça.

16 E vendo que ninguém havia, maravilhou-se de que não houvesse intercessor algum; por isso seu próprio braço lhe trouxe a salvação, e sua própria justiça o susteve.

17 Pois ele se vestu de justiça como uma armadura, e [pôs] o capacete da salvação em sua cabeça; e vestiu-se de roupas de vingança [como] vestimenta, e cobriu-se de selo como uma capa.

18 Ele [lhes] retribuirá conforme [suas] obras: furor a seus adversários, pagamento a seus inimigos; aos litorais ele pagará de volta.
