AS A CLOAK

^{Isaiah 59:15-21}

YEA, THE 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. 

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. 

FOR HE PUT ON

RIGHTEOUSNESS AS 

A BREASTPLATE, 

AND 

AN HELMET 

OF SALVATION UPON HIS HEAD; 

AND HE PUT ON 

THE GARMENT OF VENGEANCE 

FOR CLOTHING, 

AND WAS 

CLAD WITH ZEAL 

AS A CLOAK.

According to their deeds, 

accordingly he will repay, 

FURY TO HIS ADVERSARIES,

 RECOMPENCE TO HIS ENEMIES;

to the islands 
he will repay recompence.

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. 

And 

THE REDEEMER 

SHALL COME TO ZION, 

 AND

 UNTO THEM THAT TURN 

FROM TRANSGRESSION

 in Jacob, saith the Lord.

AS FOR ME,

THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, 

SAITH THE LORD;

MY SPIRIT 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'S SEED, 

SAITH THE LORD, 

FROM HENCEFORTH AND FOR EVER.

LOVE
