Isaiah 63
1 Who [is] this coming from Edom, in crimsoned garments from Bozrah, this One glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? “[It is] I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
2 Why [is] red unto Your clothing, and Your garments like one treading in the winepress?
3 “The winepress I have trodden by myself alone, and from the peoples no man [was] with me; and I trampled them in My anger, and I trampled them in My fury, and their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and all My clothes I have stained.
4 For the day of vengeance [is] in My heart, and the year of My redeeming has come!
5 And I looked, and [there was] no one helping, and I was dismayed that [there was] no one to uphold; and My own arm brought salvation for Me, and it [was] My own wrath [that] upheld Me.
6 And I trampled the peoples in My anger, and made them drunk in My wrath, and I poured out to the earth” their blood!
7 The loving devotion of YHWH I will recount, the praises of YHWH, according to all that YHWH has done for us, and the abundant goodness to the house of Israel that He has done for them, according to His compassion, and according to the abundance of His loving devotion.
8 And He said, “Surely they [are] My people, sons not unfaithful.” And He was unto them as a Savior.
9 In all their distress, he was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His compassion He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.
10 And they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; and He turned Himself against them as an enemy, [and] He fought against them.
11 And He remembered the days of old, of Moses [and] his people: Where [is] the One who brought them up from the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where [is] is the One who set within him His Holy Spirit,
12 the One leading them by the right hand of Moses the arm of His glory, dividing the waters before their face, to make for Himself an everlasting name;
13 the One leading them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness; they did not stumble?
14 As the beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of YHWH gave them rest—thus You led Your people, to make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from the heavens and see, from the habitation of Your holiness and Your glory! Where [is] Your zeal and Your strength, the groaning of Your bowels and Your compassion toward me—are they restrained?
16 For You [are] our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us, You, O YHWH, [are] our Father, Our Redeemer from Everlasting [is] Your name.
17 Why do You let us stray O YHWH, from Your ways, [and] harden our hearts from fearing You? Return Your servants for the sake of the tribes of Your inheritance.
18 For a short time Your holy people possessed [it]; our adversaries have trampled Your sanctuary.
19 From of old we have been You had not ruled over them, those not called by Your name.
