Isaiah 63

¹Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. ²Wherefore are you red in yours apparel, and your garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? ³I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. ⁴For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. ⁵And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me. ⁶And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth. ⁷I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, [and] the praises of Jehovah, according to all that YHWH hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. ⁸For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their Saviour. ⁹In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. ¹⁰But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them. ¹¹Then he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people, [saying], Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them? ¹²that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name? ¹³that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not? ¹⁴As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of YHWH caused them to rest; so didst you lead your people, to make thyself a glorious name. ¹⁵Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heare and your compassions are restrained toward me. ¹⁶For you are our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name. ¹⁷O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from your ways, and hardenest our heare from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of yours inheritance. ¹⁸Thy holy people possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary. ¹⁹We are become as they over whom you never barest rule, as they that were not called by your name.
