Isaiah 63:1-10

Complete Jewish Bible

63 Who 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.”

² Why 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;
⁴ for the day of vengeance that was in my heart
and my year of redemption have come.
⁵ I 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.
⁶ In my anger I trod down the peoples,
made them drunk with my fury,
then poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

⁷ I 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.
⁸ For he said, “They are indeed my people,
children who are not disloyal.”
So he became their Savior.
⁹ In 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.
¹⁰ However, they rebelled,
they grieved his Holy Spirit;
so he became their enemy
and himself fought against them.
