On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This is the Christian soldier's belt: ungirded with this, he is unblessed. [2.] Righteousness must be our breast-plate. The breast-plate secures the vitals, shelters the heart. The righteousness of Christ imputed to us is our breast-plate against the arrows of divine wrath.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

So the Passover was eaten with the loins girt, and the shoes on the feet (Ex 12:11; compare Isa 5:27; Faithfulness (Septuagint, "truth") is the girdle of Messiah (Isa 11:5): so truth of His followers. having on--Greek, "having put on." breastplate of righteousness-- (Isa 59:17), similarly of Messiah.
