17
He shall take to Him His jealousy for complete armor, and make the creature His weapon for the revenge of His enemies.
18
He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate and true judgment instead of a helmet.Œ
19
He shall take holiness for an invincible shield;
20
His severe wrath shall He sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with Him against the unwise.
21
Then shall the right-aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well-drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.
22
And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stonebow; and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
23
Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away; thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and evil dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.
