Wisdom 5:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 Therefore, they will receive a glorious crown
and a splendid diadem from the hand of the Lord.
For he will shelter them with his right hand
and shield them with his arm.
17 He will take zeal as his armor
and arm all creation to repulse his foes.[a]
18 He will put on justice as a breastplate,
and wear an infallible judgment as a helmet.
Footnotes
- Wisdom 5:17 God’s offensive and defensive weapons are a classic theme in the imagery of the judgment (see Ps 17:14-15; Isa 59:17). Paul applies them to the Christian’s battle against the devil (Eph 6:13-17).
