Isaiah 63

American Standard Version

1Who is this that cometh from EdomH123, with dyed garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mighty to saveH3467. 2Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparel, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3I have troddenH1869 the winepress aloneH905; and of the peoplesH5971 there was no manH376 with me: yea, I trodH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampledH7429 them in my wrathH2534; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garmentsH899, and I have stained all my raiment. 4For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 was in my heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935. 5And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvation unto me; and my wrathH2534, it upheld me. 6And I trodH947 down the peoplesH5971 in mine angerH639, and madeH7937 them drunkH7937 in my wrathH2534, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earthH776.

7I will makeH2142 mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, and the praisesH8416 of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the greatH7227 goodnessH2898 toward the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitudeH7230 of his lovingkindnesses. 8For he saidH559, SurelyH389, they are my peopleH5971, children that will not dealH8266 falselyH8266: so he wasH1961 their Saviour. 9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pity he redeemedH1350 them; and he bare them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of old.

10But they rebelledH4784, and grieved his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, andhimself foughtH3898 against them. 11Then he rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of old, MosesH4872andhis peopleH5971, saying, WhereH346 is he that broughtH5927 them up out of the seaH3220 with the shepherdsH7462 of his flockH6629? whereH346 is he that putH7760 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307 in the midstH7130 of them? 12that caused his glorious armH2220 to go at the rightH3225 handH3225 of MosesH4872? that divided the watersH4325 before them, to makeH6213 himself an everlasting nameH8034? 13that led them through the depthsH8415, as a horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, so that they stumbledH3782 not? 14As the cattleH929 that goH3381 down into the valleyH1237, the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah caused them to restH5117: soH3651 didst thou lead thy peopleH5971, to makeH6213 thyself a glorious nameH8034.

15LookH7200 down from heavenH8064, and behold from the habitation of thy holinessH6944 and of thy gloryH8597: whereH346 are thy zealH7068 and thy mightyH1369 acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassionsH7356 are restrainedH662 toward me. 16For thou art our FatherH1, though AbrahamH85 knoweth us not, and IsraelH3478 doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our FatherH1; our RedeemerH1350 from everlasting is thy nameH8034. 17O Jehovah, whyH4100 dost thou make us to errH8582 from thy waysH1870, and hardenest our heartH3820 from thy fearH3374? ReturnH7725 for thy servants’H5650 sakeH4616, the tribesH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159. 18Thy holyH6944 peopleH5971 possessedH3423 it but a little while: our adversaries have troddenH947 downH947 thy sanctuaryH4720. 19We are becomeH1961 as they over whom thou never barest ruleH4910, as they that wereH1961 not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
