Isaiah 63

¹Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.

²Wherefore are thy garments red, and thy raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden wine-press?

²Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?

³I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.

⁴For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.

⁵And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew nigh.

⁵And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and my anger drew near.

⁶And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.

⁶And I trampled them in my anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.

⁷I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.

⁸And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance

⁹out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.

¹⁰But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.

¹¹Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?

¹²who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.

¹³He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,

¹⁴and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus thou leddest thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

¹⁴and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

¹⁵Turn from heaven, and look from thy holy habitation and [from] thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength? where is the abundance of thy mercy and of thy compassions, that thou hast withholden thyself from us?

¹⁵Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?

¹⁶For thou art our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do thou, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: thy name has been upon us from the beginning.

¹⁶For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.

¹⁷Why hast thou caused us to err, O Lord, from thy way? [and] hast hardened our hearts, that we should not fear thee? Return for thy servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of thine inheritance,

¹⁷Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,

¹⁸that we may inherit a small part of thy holy mountain.

¹⁸that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.

¹⁹We are become as at the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and thy name was not called upon us. If thou wouldest open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from thee, and they shall melt,

¹⁹We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
