Isaiah 63
63
Winepress of Vengeance
1“Who is this coming from Edom, in crimsoned garments from Bozrah? This One splendid in His apparel, pressing forward in His great might?” “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2“Why is Your apparel so red, and Your garments like one who treads in a wine press?”
3“I have trodden the winepress alone— from the peoples, no man was with Me. I trod them in My anger, and trampled them in My wrath. Their lifeblood spattered My garments, so I stained all My robes.
4For a day of vengeance was in My heart, and My year of redemption has come.
5I looked, but there was no one to help. I was amazed, but no one was assisting. So My own arm won victory for Me, and My wrath upheld Me.
6So I trod down the peoples in My anger, and made them drunk in My wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Remembering His Chesed
7I will remember the lovingkindnesses of Adonai, the praises of Adonai, according to all that Adonai has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion, and according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.
8For He said, “Surely they are My people, children who will not deal falsely.” So He became their Savior.
9In all their affliction He was afflicted. So the angel of His presence saved them. In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, then He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.
10But they rebelled, and grieved His Ruach ha-Kodesh. So He turned to become their enemy. He Himself fought against them.
11Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses: “Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put among them His Ruach ha-Kodesh?
12Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? Who divided the waters before them— to make Himself a Name forever?
13Who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble.
14Like cattle that go down into a valley, the Ruach Adonai gave them rest. So You led Your people, to make Yourself a glorious Name.
15Look down from heaven and see from Your holy, glorious, lofty abode. Where are Your zeal and mighty deeds? Are the yearnings of Your heart, Your compassions, withheld from me?
16For You are our Father— even if Abraham would not know us or Israel not recognize us. You, Adonai, are our Father, our Redeemer— from everlasting is Your Name.
17Adonai, why do You cause us to stray from Your ways, and harden our heart from fearing You? Return for Your servants’ sake, the tribes of Your heritage.
18Briefly Your holy people possessed it— our foes have trampled Your Sanctuary.
19We have become like those over whom You have never ruled, like those not called by Your Name. Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at Your presence!

Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 63
63
1Who is this, coming from Edom,
from Botzrah with clothing stained crimson,
so magnificently dressed,
so stately in his great strength?
“It is I, who speak victoriously,
I, well able to save.”
2Why is your apparel red,
your clothes like someone treading a winepress?
3“I have trodden the winepress alone;
from the peoples, not one was with me.
So I trod them in my anger,
trampled them in my fury;
so their lifeblood spurted out on my clothing,
and I have stained all my garments;
4for the day of vengeance that was in my heart
and my year of redemption have come.
5I looked, but there was no one to help,
and I was appalled that no one upheld me.
Therefore my own arm brought me salvation,
and my own fury upheld me.
6In my anger I trod down the peoples,
made them drunk with my fury,
then poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
7I will recall the grace of Adonai
and the praises of Adonai,
because of all that Adonai has granted us
and his great goodness toward the house of Isra’el,
which he bestowed on them in keeping with his mercy,
in keeping with the greatness of his grace.
8For he said, “They are indeed my people,
children who are not disloyal.”
So he became their Savior.
9In all their troubles he was troubled;
then the Angel of His Presence saved them;
in his love and pity he redeemed them.
He had lifted them up and carried them
throughout the days of old.
10However, they rebelled,
they grieved his Holy Spirit;
so he became their enemy
and himself fought against them.
11But then his people remembered
the days of old, the days of Moshe:
“Where is he who brought them up from the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put his Holy Spirit
right there among them,
12who caused his glorious arm to go
at Moshe’s right hand?
He divided the water ahead of them,
to make himself an eternal name;
13he led them through the deep
like a sure-footed horse through the desert;
14like cattle going down into a valley
the Spirit of Adonai had them rest.
This is how you led your people,
to make yourself a glorious name.”
15Look down from heaven; and see
from your holy, glorious dwelling.
Where are your zeal and your mighty deeds,
your inner concern and compassion?
Don’t hold back, 16for you are our father.
Even if Avraham were not to know us,
and Isra’el were not to acknowledge us,
you, Adonai, are our father,
Our Redeemer of Old is your name.
17Adonai, why do you let us wander from your ways
and harden our hearts, so that we do not fear you?
Return, for the sake of your servants,
the tribes who are your possession.
18Your holy people held your sanctuary such a short time,
before our adversaries trampled it down.
19For so long we have been like those you never ruled,
like those who were not called by your name!
We wish you would tear open heaven and come down,
so the mountains would shake at your presence!
