Isaiah 63

Previous chapter Index Next chapter

1 Who is this coming from Edom, in scarlet garments from Bozrah, so majestic in His garment, performing in the fullness of His power? `I am the one who speaks the truth, the strong to save. '
2 Why, then, is Thy garment red, and the garments of Thee like the one worn in the winepress?
3 "I trampled the winepress alone, and from the peoples there was no one with me; And I trampled them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; Their blood sprinkled on my robe, and I stained all my clothing;
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 I looked, and there was no helper; Wondered that there was no support; But my arm helped me, and my fury-she supported Me:
6th And I trampled the peoples in my anger, and I broke them in my wrath, and poured out their blood on the earth. "

7th I will remember the mercy of the Lord and the glory of the Lord for all that the Lord has given us, and great kindness toward the house of Israel, which He rendered to Him in His mercy and His many bounties.
8 He said: "They are truly my people, children who will not lie, 'and He was their Savior for them.
9 In all their affliction He did not leave them, and the angel of His face saved them; For he loved and cherished his mercy, he redeemed them, took them and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned to their enemy: He fought against them.
eleven Then his people remembered the ancient days, the Moses: where is he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his sheep? Where He who put His Holy Spirit in his heart,
12 Who led Moses by the right hand with his majestic arm, divided the waters before them to make Himself an eternal name,
13 Who guided them through the abysses, like a horse in the steppe, [and] they did not stumble?
14 As the herd descends into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord led them to rest. So Thou didst lead Thy people to make Himself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven and look from the dwelling place of your holiness and your glory: where is your zeal and your might? - Thy mercy and mercy are withheld from me.
16 Only You are our Father; Because Abraham does not recognize us, and Israel does not recognize us as our own; Thou, Lord, our Father, from everlasting, Your name: `Our Redeemer '.
17th Why, O Lord, have you allowed us to turn from your ways, to harden our hearts, so as not to fear You? For Thy servants, for the tribes of Thy inheritance.
18 For a short time the people of your holiness owned it: our enemies have trampled down Your sanctuary.
19 We have become such, over which You have never, as it were, dominated, and over which Your name was not named.
