Isaiah 59:16-18 – lifting up of Yourself

Dear Jehovah God,

חוְאִם־לֹ֨א תֹאבֶ֤ה הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ לָלֶ֣כֶת אַֽחֲרֶ֔יךָ וְנִקִּ֕יתָ מִשְּׁבֻֽעָתִ֖י זֹ֑את רַ֣ק אֶת־בְּנִ֔י לֹ֥א תָשֵׁ֖ב שָֽׁמָּה:

          “But, despite all this, if the woman does not wish to follow you back here, you will be absolved of this oath of mine. In any event, do not return my son to there.”

Isaiah 59:16-18 – lifting up of Yourself

          And You see that there is no man, and is astonished that there is no one to intercede; then Your own arm brings salvation to You, and Your righteousness upholds You. You put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on Your head; and You put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Yourself with zeal as a mantle. According to their deeds, so You repay, wrath to Your adversaries, recompense to Your enemies; to the coastlands You make recompense.

Isaiah 41:28; 63:5; Ezekiel 22:30 – no man

          But when You look, there is no one, and there is no counselor among them who, if You ask, can give an answer.

          You look, and there is no one to help, and You are astonished and there is no one to uphold; so Your own arm brings salvation to You, and Your wrath upholds You.

          You search for a man among them who builds up the wall and stands in the gap before You for the land, so that You do not destroy it; but You find no one.

Psalm 98:1; Isaiah 52:10; 63:5 – own arm

          O sing to You Jehovah a new song, for You do wonderful things, Your right hand and Your holy arm gains the victory for You.

          You Jehovah bare Your holy arm in the sight of all the nations, that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our God.

          You look, and there is no one to help, and You are astonished and there is no one to uphold; so Your own arm brings salvation to You, and Your wrath upholds You.

Ephesians 6:14 – righteousness

          Stand firm therefore, having girded our loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.

Ephesians 6:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:8 – helmet

          And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

          But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Isaiah 63:2, 3 – garments

          Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press? You tread the wine trough alone, and from the peoples there is no man with You. You also tread them in Your anger and trample them in Your wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on Your garments, and You stain all Your raiment.

Isaiah 9:7; 37:32; Zechariah 1:14 – zeal as a mantle

          There is no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts accomplish this.

          For out of Jerusalem goes forth a remnant and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts perform this.

          So the angel who is speaking with me says to me to proclaim, saying that thus says You Jehovah of hosts that You are exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.

Job 34:11; Isaiah 65:6, 7; 66:6; Jeremiah 17:10 – according

          For You pay a man according to his work, and make him find it according to his way.

          Behold, it is written before You, You do not keep silent, but You repay; You even repay into their bosom, both their own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together, Jehovah. Because they burn incense on the mountains and scorn You on the hills, there You measure their former work into their bosom.

          A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of You Jehovah who is rendering recompense to Your enemies.

          You, Jehovah, search the heart, You test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds.

Intention of this prayer: no man, and own arm. Also righteousness, helmet, garments, and zeal as a mantle, and according.

          And You see that there is no man, and is astonished that there is no one to intercede; then Your own arm brings salvation to You, and Your righteousness upholds You. You put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on Your head; and You put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Yourself with zeal as a mantle. According to recompense, accordingly You repay, wrath to Your adversaries, recompense to Your enemies; to the coastlands You repay recompense. But when You look, there is no one, and there is no counselor out of those who, if You ask, can give an answer. You look, and there is no one to help, and You are astonished and there is no one to uphold; so, Your own arm brings salvation to You, and Your wrath upholds You. You search for a man among them who builds up the wall and stands in the gap before You for the land, so that You do not destroy it; but You find not one.

          O sing to You Jehovah a new song, for You do wonderful things, Your right hand and Your holy arm, YWYS, accomplishes salvation for You. You Jehovah bare Your holy arm, YWYS, in the sight of all the nations, and that all the ends of the earth see the salvation of YFA’ God. You look, and there is no one to help, and You are astonished and there is no one to uphold; so, Your own arm, YWYS, brings salvation to You, and Your wrath upholds You.

          Stand firm therefore, having girded YFA’ loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.

          And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD, YWYS, of God Jehovah. But since YFA are of day, let YFA be self-controlled, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

          Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press? You tread the wine trough alone, and from the peoples there is no man with You. You also tread them in Your anger and trample them in Your wrath; and their juice is sprinkled on Your garments, and You defile all Your raiment.

          There is no end to the increase of government or of peace, on the throne of David, YWYS, and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts accomplish this. For out of Jerusalem goes forth a remnant and out of Mount Zion those who escape. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts perform this. So, the angel who is speaking with YWYS says to Him to proclaim, saying that thus says You Jehovah of hosts that You are exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.

          For You pay a man according to his work, and make a man find it according to his way. Behold, it is written before You, You do not keep silent, but You repay; You even repay into their bosom, both their own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together, Jehovah. Because they burn incense on the mountains and scorn You on the hills, there You measure their former work into their bosom. A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of You Jehovah who is rendering recompense to Your enemies. You, Jehovah, search the heart, You test the kidneys, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.

          You are Omnipotent. Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it. I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. By the WORD of Your Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear You Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You. You, Jehovah God, possess all power.

You are Wrathful. For the wrath of You God Jehovah is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. He who believes in the Son, YWYS, has eternal life, but the wrath of God abides on him. Should I help the wicked and love those4 who hate You Jehovah and so bring wrath on myself from You Jehovah? Therefore consider the members of my earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of You God Jehovah comes upon the sons of disobedience.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
