Isaiah 63

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Who is this that cometh from Edom? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.

2 Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat?

Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?

3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

I have trodden the wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my apparel.

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, And the year of my deliverance was come.

5 And I looked, and there was none to help. And I wondered that there was none to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. And my wrath, it upheld me.

And I looked, and there was none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.

6 And I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.

7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah 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.

I will celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.

8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely. So he was their Savior.

He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.

9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

In all their straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore them all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself fought against them.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,

Then remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?

12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,

That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?

13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?

That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?

14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.

As the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for thyself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory. Where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? The yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.

Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?

16 For thou are our Father, though Abraham knows us not, and Israel does not acknowledge us, thou, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.

Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.

17 O Jehovah, why do thou make us to err from thy ways, and harden our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

Why, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!

18 Thy holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.

19 We have become as those over whom thou never bore rule, as those who were not called by thy name.

It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
