Isaiah 59

Isaiah 59 indicts Israel for sins like violence, lies, and injustice that separate them from YHWH (vv. 1-8), followed by their confession of transgressions causing darkness and hopelessness (vv. 9-15a). YHWH, seeing no intercessor, intervenes with His own arm for salvation, dons vengeance, and promises a Redeemer (*go'el*) to Zion who establishes an everlasting covenant of the Spirit and words (vv. 15b-21).
