Isaiah 63:8-16

8For he said, "Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely." And he became their Savior.

9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

10But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit; therefore he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

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

12who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name,

13who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble.

14Like livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name.

15Look down from heaven and see, from your holy and beautiful habitation. Where are your zeal and your might? The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion are held back from me.

16For you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us; you, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.
