16
But the just shall live for evermore: and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the most High.
17
Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them.
18
And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies.
19
He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet.
20
He will take equity for an invincible shield:
21
And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise.
22
Then shafts of lightning shall go directly from the clouds, as from a bow well bent, they shall be shot out, and shall fly to the mark.
23
And thick hail shall be cast upon them from the stone casting wrath: the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the rivers shall run together in a terrible manner.
24
A mighty wind shall stand up against them, and as a whirlwind shall divide them: and their iniquity shall bring all the earth to a desert, and wickedness shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.
