ISAIAH ยท Chapter 63
63:1 Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his
strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
63:2 Wherefore are you red in your apparel, and your garments like
him that treads in the winepress?
63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was
none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in
my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will
stain all my raiment.
63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my
redeemed has come.
63:5 And 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 fury, it upheld me.
63:6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them
drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
63:7 I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises
of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the
great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them
according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving
kindnesses.
63:8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not
lie: so he was their Saviour.
63:9 In 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.
63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was
turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying,
Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his
flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
63:12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,
dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness,
that they should not stumble?
63:14 As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD
caused him to rest: so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious
name.
63:15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your
holiness and of your glory: where is your zeal and your strength, the sounding
of your bowels and of your mercies toward me? are they restrained?
63:16 Doubtless you are our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us,
and Israel acknowledge us not: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer;
your name is from everlasting.
63:17 O LORD, why have you made us to go astray from your ways, and
hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the
tribes of your inheritance.
63:18 The people of your holiness have possessed it but a little while:
our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
63:19 We are yours: you never bare rule over them; they were not called
by your name.
