★0319 引用經文→以賽亞書59:15,16

15 誠實少見．離惡的人反成掠物。那時、耶和華看見沒有公平、甚不喜悅。 

Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice. 

16 他見無人拯救、無人代求、甚為詫異．就用自己的膀臂施行拯救．以公義扶持自己。 

He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.
