17. He shall take his jealousy as complete armor, And shall make the whole creation his weapons for vengeance on his enemies:
18. He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, And shall array himself with judgement unfeigned as with a helmet;
19. He shall take holiness as an invincible shield,
20. And he shall sharpen stern wrath for a sword: And the world shall go forth with him to fight against his insensate foes.
21. Shafts of lightning shall fly with true aim, And from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they leap to the mark.
22. And as from an engine of war shall be hurled hailstones full of wrath; The water of the sea shall be angered against them, And rivers shall sternly overwhelm them;
