Who is this that cometh from Edom
, with dyed
garments
from Bozrah
? this that is glorious
in his apparel
, travelling
in the greatness
of his strength
? I that speak
in righteousness
, mighty
to save
.
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel
, and thy garments
like him that treadeth
in the winefat
?
I have trodden the winepress
alone; and of the people
there was none
with me: for I will tread
them in mine anger
, and trample
them in my fury
; and their blood
shall be sprinkled
upon my garments
, and I will stain
all my raiment
.
For the day of vengeance
is in mine heart
, and the year
of my redeemed
is come
.
And I looked, and there was none to help
; and I wondered
that there was none to uphold
: therefore mine own arm
brought salvation
unto me; and my fury
, it upheld
me.
And I will tread down the people
in mine anger
, and make them drunk
in my fury
, and I will bring down
their strength
to the earth
.
I will mention the lovingkindnesses
of the LORD
, and the praises
of the LORD
, according to all that the LORD
hath bestowed
on us, and the great
goodness
toward the house
of Israel
, which he hath bestowed
on them according to his mercies
, and according to the multitude
of his lovingkindnesses
.
For he said, Surely they are my people
, children
that will not lie
: so he was their Saviour
.
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 bare
them, and carried
them all the days
of old
.
But they rebelled, and vexed
his holy
Spirit
: therefore he was turned
to be their enemy
, and he fought
against them.
Then he remembered the days
of old
, Moses
, and his people
, saying , Where is he that brought them up
out of the sea
with the shepherd
of his flock
? where is he that put
his holy
Spirit
within
him?
That led them by the right hand
of Moses
with his glorious
arm
, dividing
the water
before
them, to make
himself an everlasting
name
?
That led them through the deep
, as an horse
in the wilderness
, that they should not stumble
?
As a beast goeth down
into the valley
, the Spirit
of the LORD
caused him to rest
: so didst thou lead
thy people
, to make
thyself a glorious
name
.
Look down from heaven
, and behold
from the habitation
of thy holiness
and of thy glory
: where is thy zeal
and thy strength
, the sounding
of thy bowels
and of thy mercies
toward me? are they restrained
?
Doubtless thou art our father
, though Abraham
be ignorant
of us, and Israel
acknowledge
us not: thou, O LORD
, art our father
, our redeemer
; thy name
is from everlasting
.
O LORD, why hast thou made us to err
from thy ways
, and hardened
our heart
from thy fear
? Return
for thy servants
' sake, the tribes
of thine inheritance
.
The people of thy holiness
have possessed
it but a little while
: our adversaries
have trodden down
thy sanctuary
.
We are thine : thou never barest rule
over them; they were not called
by thy name
.
