Isaiah 63

1 Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that 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 [art thou] red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth 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 wine-press alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain 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 [is] in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is 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 fury, 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 will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to 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 mention the loving-kindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness towards the house of Israel, which he hath 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, children [that] will not lie: 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 angel 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 vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he 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 that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?

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 That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water 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 That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?

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

14 As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead 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 [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?

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

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 LORD, 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 thy 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 The people of thy holiness have 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 are [thine]: thou never didst bear rule over them; they 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.
