Isaiah 59:19

19 In the west, people respect ^{▼▼ Heb “fear.” A few medieval Hebrew mss read “see.”} the Lord’s reputation; ^{▼▼ Heb “and they fear from the west the name of the Lord.”}
in the east they recognize his splendor. ^{▼▼ Heb “and from the rising of the sun his splendor.”}
For he comes like a rushing ^{▼▼ Heb “narrow”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “pent-up.”} stream
driven on by wind sent from the Lord. ^{▼▼ Heb “the wind of the Lord drives it on.” The term רוּחַ (ruakh) could be translated “breath” here (see 30:28).}
