‏ Isaiah 63

CHAPTER 63

A Day of Recompense and Ransoming

1Who is this, the one coming from out of Edom, with [2dyed red 1garments] from out of Bozrah? This one beautiful in his apparel, [3force 1with 2a mighty]? I reason righteousness and the case of deliverance. 2Why are your [2red   1clothes], and   your garments as from a trampled wine vat, 3full of that being trampled? And of the nations there is not a man with me. And I trampled them in my rage, and I broke them in pieces as ground, and led   their blood unto the ground. And all   my garments are defiled. 4For a day of recompense came upon them, and a year of ransoming is at hand. 5And I looked, and there was no helper. And I paid attention, and no one assisted. And [3rescued 4them   2arm 1my], and   my rage attended to it. 6And I trampled them in  my anger, and I led down   their blood unto the ground. 7[2the 3mercy 4of the lord  1I remembered]; the virtues of the lord  in all which he recompenses to us. The lord -- [2judge 1a good] to the house of Israel; he brings upon us according to   his mercy, and according to the magnitude   of his righteousness. 8And he said,   [4my people 1Children 2in no way 3will disrespect]. And he became to them for deliverance, 9from out of all their affliction. Not an ambassador, nor an angel, but he, the lord  delivered them, because of   loving them. And he spared them -- he ransomed them, and he took them, and raised them all the days of the eon. 10But they resisted persuasion, and provoked   [2spirit   1his holy]. And [2turned 3against them 1the lord] for enmity; he waged war against them. 11And he remembered [2days 1everlasting]; the bringing up from the land the shepherd of the sheep. Where is the one putting [4in 5them 1the 3spirit   2holy]? 12the one leading [2by the 3right hand  1Moses], the one being the arm   of his glory? He prevailed over water in front of him; he made for himself [2name 1an everlasting]. 13He led them through the deep as a horse through a wilderness, and they tired not. 14And as cattle led through a plain, [4descended 1spirit 2of 3the lord], and guided them. Thus you led   your people to make for yourself [2name 1a glorious]. 15Turn from   heaven, and look from   [2house   1your holy], and from your glory! Where is   your zeal and   your strength? Where is the abundance   of your mercy and your compassions, that you withheld from us? 16For you are our father. For Abraham did not know us, and Israel did not recognize us. But you, O lord  our father, rescue us! From the beginning   your name [2upon 3us 1is]. 17Why did you wander us, O lord, from   your way? You hardened   our hearts   to not fear you? Return on account of   your servants! on account of the tribes   of your inheritance. 18that [2a little 1we should inherit   4mountain   3of your holy].   Our adversaries trampled   your sanctuary. 19We became as   from the beginning when you did not rule us, nor was [2called   1your name] upon us.
