Yesaya 59:16

The Lord Intervenes

59:16 He sees there is no advocate; ¹ 

he is shocked ²  that no one intervenes.

So he takes matters into his own hands; ³ 

his desire for justice drives him on. ⁴ 

[59:16]  ¹ tn Heb “man” (so KJV, ASV); TEV “no one to help.”

[59:16]  ² tn Or “appalled” (NAB, NIV, NRSV), or “disgusted.”

[59:16]  ³ tn Heb “and his arm delivers for him.”

[59:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “and his justice [or “righteousness”] supports him.”
