NASB Bible

Isaiah 63

God's Vengeance on the Nations

1

Who is this who comes from  aEdom, With  bgarments of  1glowing colors from  cBozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel,  2Marching in the greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness,  dmighty to save."

2

Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who  atreads in the wine press?

3

aI have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also  btrod them in My anger And  ctrampled them in My wrath; And  dtheir  1lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I  2stained all My raiment.

4

"For the  aday of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come.

5

"I looked, and there was  ano one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My  bown arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me.

6

"I  atrod down the peoples in My anger And made them  bdrunk in My wrath, And I  1poured out their lifeblood on the earth."

God's Ancient Mercies Recalled

7

I shall make mention of the  alovingkindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, According to all that the LORD has granted us, And the great  bgoodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has granted them according to His  ccompassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

8

For He said, "Surely, they are  aMy people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their  bSavior.

9

In all their affliction  1 aHe was afflicted, And the  bangel of His presence saved them; In His  clove and in His mercy He  dredeemed them, And He  elifted them and carried them all the days of old.

10

But they  arebelled And grieved His  bHoly Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them.

11

Then  aHis people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is  bHe who brought them up out of the sea with the  1shepherds of His flock? Where is He who  cput His Holy Spirit in the midst of  2them,

12

Who caused His  aglorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, Who  bdivided the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,

13

Who led them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not  astumble;

14

As the cattle which go down into the valley, The Spirit of the  aLORD gave  1them rest. So You  bled Your people, To make for Yourself a glorious name.

"You Are Our Father"

15

 aLook down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious  bhabitation; Where are Your  czeal and Your mighty deeds? The  dstirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me.

16

For You are our  aFather, though  bAbraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our  cRedeemer from of old is Your name.

17

Why, O LORD, do You  acause us to stray from Your ways And  bharden our heart from fearing You?  cReturn for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

18

Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, Our adversaries have  atrodden it down.

19

We have become like those over whom You have never ruled, Like those who were not called by Your name.
