## Isaiah 59:17-21 in Context (Verses 14–21 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/14) And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/15) Yea, truth faileth; and he *that* departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw *it*, and it displeased him that *there was* no judgment.**
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/16) ¶ And he saw that *there was* no man, and wondered that *there was* no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/17) For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance *for* clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/18) According to *their* deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/19) So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/20) ¶ And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/21) As for me, this *is* my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that *is* upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
 
[Isaiah 58](/kjv/isaiah/58) [Isaiah 60](/kjv/isaiah/60)
