Isaiah 63:8-16

8He said, “They are indeed my people, children who will not be disloyal,” and he became their Savior.

9In all their suffering, he suffered, and the angel of his presence saved them. He redeemed them because of his love and compassion; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of the past.

10But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.

11Then he remembered the days of the past, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who brought them out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among the flock?

12He made his glorious strength available at the right hand of Moses, divided the water before them to make an eternal name for himself,

13and led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble.

14Like cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. You led your people this way to make a glorious name for yourself.

15Look down from heaven and see from your lofty home — holy and beautiful. Where is your zeal and your might? Your yearning and your compassion are withheld from me.

16Yet you are our Father, even though Abraham does not know us and Israel doesn’t recognize us. You, Lord, are our Father; your name is Our Redeemer from Ancient Times.
