New Living Translation (NLT)
Isaiah 59
14 Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed.
15 Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked. The LORD looked and was displeased to find there was no justice.
16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm, and his justice sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.
18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes. He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.
19 In the west, people will respect the name of the LORD; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the LORD.
20 “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins,” says the LORD.
21 “And this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the LORD, have spoken!
Isaiah 60
1 “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you.
2 Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you.
3 All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
