Isaiah 59: the Lord provides salvation through the Redeemer

 Isaiah 59 says that we are corrupted and apart from the Lord:

2 But your wrongdoings have caused a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
4 No one sues righteously and no one pleads [b]honestly.
They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.
8 They do not know the way of peace,
And there is no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
Whoever walks on [d]them does not know peace.

We are far fro the Lord:

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us;
We hope for light, but there is darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We grope for the wall like people who are blind,
We grope like those who have no eyes.
We stumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are like the dead.

However, the Lord is merciful and intervenes:

16 And He saw that there was no one,
And was amazed that there was not one to intercede;
Then His own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.
17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, [h]so will He repay:
Wrath to His adversaries, [i]retribution to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will [j]deal [k]retribution.
19 So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west
And His glory from the rising of the sun,
For He will come like a [l]rushing stream
Which the wind of the Lord drives.

The Lord provides salvation, a Redeemer will come to Zion:

20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those in Jacob who turn from wrongdoing,” declares the Lord.
