Isaiah:63
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Who is this who comes from Edom ,
with dyed garments from Bozrah ?
this who is glorious in his clothing ,
marching in the greatness of his strength ? "
It is I who speak in righteousness ,
mighty to save ."
*
Why are you red in your clothing ,
and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat ?
* "
I have trodden the winepress alone ;
and of the peoples there was no man with me :
yes ,
I trod them in my anger ,
and trampled them in my wrath ;
and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments ,
and I have stained all my clothing .
*
For the day of vengeance was in my heart ,
and the year of my redeemed has come .
*
I looked ,
and there was none to help ;
and I wondered that there was none to uphold :
therefore my own arm brought salvation to me ;
and my wrath ,
it upheld me .
*
I trod down the peoples in my anger ,
and made them drunk in my wrath ,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth ."
*
I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh ,
according to all that Yahweh has bestowed on us ,
and the great goodness toward the house of Israel ,
which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies ,
and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses .
*
For he said , "
Surely ,
they are my people ,
children who will not deal falsely :"
so he was their Savior .
*
In all their affliction he was afflicted ,
and the angel of his presence saved them :
in his love and in his pity he redeemed them ;
and he bore them ,
and carried them all the days of old .
*
But they rebelled ,
and grieved his holy Spirit :
therefore he was turned to be their enemy ,
and he himself fought against them .
*
Then 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 in their midst ?
*
who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses ?
who divided the waters before them ,
to make himself an everlasting name ?
*
who led them through the depths ,
as a horse in the wilderness ,
so that they didn '
t stumble ?
*
As the livestock that go down into the valley ,
the Spirit of Yahweh caused them to rest ;
so you led your people ,
to make yourself a glorious name .
*
Look 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 .
*
For 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 .
*
O Yahweh ,
why do you make us to err from your ways ,
and harden our heart from your fear ?
Return for your servants '
sake ,
the tribes of your inheritance .
*
Your holy people possessed it but a little while :
our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary .
*
We have become as they over whom you never bear rule ,
as those who were not called by your name .
