Isaiah 63 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

God’s Vengeance on the Nations

1Who is this who comes from Edom,

With crimson-stained garments from Bozrah,

This One (the Messiah) who is majestic in His apparel,

Marching in the greatness of His might?

“It is I, who speaks in righteousness, mighty to save.”

2Why is Your apparel red,

And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?

3“I have trodden the wine trough alone,

And of the peoples there was no one with Me.

I also trod them in My anger

And trampled them in My wrath;

And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,

And I stained all My clothes.

4“For the day of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

5“I looked, but there was no one to help,

And I was amazed and appalled that there was no one to uphold.

So My own arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath sustained Me.

6“I trampled the peoples in My anger

And made them drunk with My wrath,

And I spilled their lifeblood on the earth.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

7¶I will tell of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,

According to all that the Lord has done for us,

And His great goodness toward the house of Israel,

Which He has shown them according to His compassion

And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

8For He said, “Be assured, they are My people,

Sons who will not be faithless.”

So He became their Savior.

9In all their distress He was distressed,

And the angel of His presence saved them,

In His love and in His compassion He redeemed them;

And He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

10But they rebelled

And grieved His Holy Spirit;

Therefore He changed into their enemy,

And He fought against them.

11Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses,

Where is He who brought our fathers up out of the Sea, with the shepherds of His flock?

Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in their midst,

12Who caused His glorious arm and infinite power to go at the right hand of Moses,

Dividing the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,

13Who led them through the depths,

Like a horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble?

14Like the cattle that go down into the valley,

The Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.

So You led Your people

To make for Yourself a beautiful and glorious name.

“You Are Our Father”

15¶Look down from heaven and see from Your lofty dwelling place, holy and glorious.

Where are Your zeal and Your mighty acts?

The stirring of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained and withheld from me.

16For You are our Father, even though Abraham does not know us

And Israel does not acknowledge us.

You, O Lord, are our Father,

Our Redeemer from everlasting is Your name.

17O Lord, 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.

18Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;

Our adversaries have trampled it down.

19We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,

Like those who were not called by Your name.
