Isaiah 63

1 Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honorable in His clothing, Traveling in the abundance of His power? “I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.”

Who is this that cometh 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.

2 Why [is] Your clothing red? And Your garments as treading in a winepress?

Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

3 “I have trodden a wine vat by Myself, And of the peoples there is no one with Me, And I tread them in My anger, And I trample them in My fury, Their strength is sprinkled on My garments, And I have defiled all My clothing.

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.

4 For the day of vengeance [is] in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come.

For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

5 And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And My own arm gives salvation to Me. And My wrath—it has supported Me.

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.

6 And I tread down peoples in My anger, And I make them drunk in My fury, And I bring down their strength to earth.”

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.

7 I make mention of the kind acts of YHWH, The praises of YHWH, According to all that YHWH has done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He has done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.

I will mention the lovingkindnesses of Yhwh, and the praises of Yhwh, 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.

8 And He says, “Surely they [are] My people, Sons—they do not lie,” and He is to them for a Savior.

For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

9 In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the Messenger of His Presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He lifts them up, And carries them all the days of old.

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.

10 And they have been rebellious and have grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turns to them for an enemy, He Himself has fought against them.

But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

11 And He remembers the days of old, Moses—his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of His flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?

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?

12 Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a continuous Name.

That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 Leading them through the depths, They do not stumble as a horse in a plain.

That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

14 As a beast goes down into a valley, The Spirit of YHWH causes him to rest, So You have led Your people, To make to Yourself a glorious Name.

As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of Yhwh caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

15 Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Your holy and beautiful habitation, Where [is] Your zeal and Your might? The multitude of Your bowels and Your mercies—Are they restrained?

Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

16 For You [are] our Father, For Abraham has not known us, And Israel does not acknowledge us, You, O YHWH, [are] our Father, Our Redeemer from the Age, [is] Your Name.

Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Yhwh, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

17 Why cause us to wander, O YHWH, from Your ways? You harden our heart from Your fear, Turn back for Your servants’ sake, The tribes of Your inheritance.

O Yhwh, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18 For a little while Your holy people possessed, Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

19 We have been from of old, You have not ruled over them, Your Name is not called on them!

We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
