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!

Isaias (Isaiah) 63
63
1WHO is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength? I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
2Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
3I have trodden the winepress alone: and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me. I have trampled on them in my indignation and have trodden them down in my wrath. And their blood is sprinkled upon my garments: and I have stained all my apparel.
4For the day of vengeance is in my heart: the year of my redemption is come.
5I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid. And my own arm hath saved for me: and my indignation itself hath helped me.
6And I have trodden down the people in my wrath and have made them drunk in my indignation: and have brought down their strength to the earth.
7I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us: and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny. So he became their saviour.
9In all their affliction he was not troubled: and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them: and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
10But they provoked to wrath and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11And he remembered the days of old, of Moses and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
12He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
13He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not:
14As a beast that goeth down in the field. The spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15Look down from heaven and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory. Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels and of thy mercies? They have held back themselves from me.
16For thou art our father: and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us. Thou, O Lord, art our father, our Redeemer: from everlasting is thy name.
17Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways. Why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? Return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us and when we were not called by thy name.
