Isaiah:63:1 @
Who is this who comes from Edom ,
with blood-red robes from Bozrah ?
he whose clothing is fair ,
stepping with pride in his great strength ?
I whose glory is in the right ,
strong for salvation .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:2 @
Why is your clothing red ,
and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes ?
bbe @
Isaiah:63:3 @
I have been crushing the grapes by myself ,
and of the peoples there was no man with me :
in my wrath and in my passion ,
they were crushed under my feet ;
and my robes are marked with their life-blood ,
and all my clothing is red .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:4 @
For the day of punishment is in my heart ,
and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:5 @
And I saw that there was no helper ,
and I was wondering that no one gave them support :
so my arm did the work of salvation ,
and my wrath was my support .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:6 @
And in my passion the peoples were crushed under my feet ,
and broken in my wrath ,
and I put down their strength to the earth .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:7 @
I will give news of the mercies of the Lord ,
and his great acts ,
even all the things the Lord has done for us ,
in his great grace to the house of Israel ;
even all he has done for us in his unnumbered mercies .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:8 @
For he said ,
Truly they are my people ,
children who will not be false :
so he was their saviour out of all their trouble .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:9 @
It was no sent one or angel ,
but he himself who was their saviour :
in his love and in his pity he took up their cause ,
and he took them in his arms ,
caring for them all through the years .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:10 @
But they went against him ,
causing grief to his holy spirit :
so he was turned against them ,
and made war on them .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:11 @
Then the early days came to their minds ,
the days of Moses his servant :
and they said ,
Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea ?
where is he who put his holy spirit among them ,
bbe @
Isaiah:63:12 @
He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses ,
by whom the waters were parted before them ,
to make himself an eternal name ;
bbe @
Isaiah:63:13 @
He who made them go through the deep waters ,
like a horse in the waste land ?
bbe @
Isaiah:63:14 @
Like the cattle which go down into the valley ,
they went without falling ,
the spirit of the Lord guiding them :
so you went before your people ,
to make yourself a great name .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:15 @
Let your eyes be looking down from heaven ,
from your holy and beautiful house :
where is your deep feeling ,
the working of your power ?
do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies :
bbe @
Isaiah:63:16 @
For you are our father ,
though Abraham has no knowledge of us ,
and Israel gives no thought to us :
you ,
O Lord ,
are our father ;
from the earliest days you have taken up our cause .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:17 @
O Lord ,
why do you send us wandering from your ways ,
making our hearts hard ,
so that we have no fear of you ?
Come back ,
because of your servants ,
the tribes of your heritage .
bbe @
Isaiah:63:18 @
Why have evil men gone over your holy place ,
so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters ?
bbe @
Isaiah:63:19 @
We have become as those who were never ruled by you ,
on whom your name was not named .
