Isaiah 59:16
The Lord Intervenes
16 He sees there is no advocate; ▼▼ Heb “man” (so KJV, ASV); TEV “no one to help.”
he is shocked ▼
▼ Or “appalled” (NAB, NIV, NRSV), or “disgusted.”
that no one intervenes. So he takes matters into his own hands; ▼
▼ Heb “and his arm delivers for him.”
his desire for justice drives him on. ▼
▼ Heb “and his justice [or “righteousness”] supports him.”
