Isaiah 63 — WEBC
63Verse 1Who is this who comes from Edom,with dyed garments from Bozrah?Who is this who is glorious in his clothing,marching in the greatness of his strength?“It is I who speak in righteousness,mighty to save.”Verse 2Why is your clothing red,and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?Verse 3“I have trodden the wine press alone.Of the peoples, no one was with me.Yes, I trod them in my angerand trampled them in my wrath.Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments,and I have stained all my clothing.Verse 4For the day of vengeance was in my heart,and the year of my redeemed has come.Verse 5I looked, and there was no one to help;and I wondered that there was no one to uphold.Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me.My own wrath upheld me.Verse 6I trod down the peoples in my angerand made them drunk in my wrath.
I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”Verse 7I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahwehand the praises of Yahweh,
according to all that Yahweh has given to us,and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,which he has given to them according to his mercies,
and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.Verse 8For he said, “Surely, they are my people,children who will not deal falsely;”
so he became their Savior.Verse 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 bore them,
and carried them all the days of old.Verse 10But they rebelledand grieved his Holy Spirit.Therefore he turned and became their enemy,and he himself fought against them.Verse 11Then he remembered the days of old,Moses and his people, saying,“Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock?Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”Verse 12Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand?Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?Verse 13Who led them through the depths,like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they didn’t stumble?Verse 14As the livestock that go down into the valley,Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest.
So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.Verse 15Look down from heaven,and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory.Where are your zeal and your mighty acts?The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.Verse 16For you are our Father,though Abraham doesn’t know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us.You, Yahweh, are our Father.Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.Verse 17O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways,and harden our heart from your fear?Return for your servants’ sake,the tribes of your inheritance.Verse 18Your holy people possessed it but a little while.Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.Verse 19We have become like those over whom you never ruled,like those who were not called by your name.
I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”Verse 7I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahwehand the praises of Yahweh,
according to all that Yahweh has given to us,and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,which he has given to them according to his mercies,
