63 ¿Quién es éste que viene de Edom, de Bosra, con vestidos bermejos? ¿Este hermoso en su vestido, que marcha con la grandeza de su poder? Yo, el que hablo en justicia, grande para salvar.

¿Por qué es bermejo tu vestido, y tus ropas como del que ha pisado en lagar?

Solo pisé el lagar, y de los pueblos nadie fue conmigo. Los pisé con mi ira, y los hollé con mi furor; y su sangre salpicó mis vestidos, y ensucié todas mis ropas.

Porque el día de la venganza está en mi corazón; y el año de mis redimidos es venido.

Miré, pues, y no había quien ayudara, y abominé que no hubiera quien me sustentara; y me salvó mi brazo, y me sostuvo mi ira.

Y hollé los pueblos con mi ira, y los embriagué de mi furor; y derribé a tierra su fortaleza.

De las misericordias del SEÑOR haré memoria, de las alabanzas del SEÑOR, conforme a todo lo que el SEÑOR nos ha dado, y de la grandeza de su beneficencia a la Casa de Israel, que les ha hecho según sus misericordias, y según la multitud de sus miseraciones.

Porque dijo: Ciertamente mi pueblo son, hijos que no mienten; y fue su Salvador.

En toda angustia de ellos él fue angustiado, y el Angel de su faz los salvó. Con su amor y con su clemencia los redimió, y los trajo a cuestas, y los levantó todos los días del siglo.

10 Mas ellos fueron rebeldes, e hicieron enojar su Espíritu Santo, por lo cual se les volvió enemigo, y él mismo peleó contra ellos.

11 Pero se acordó de los días antiguos, de Moisés, y de su pueblo. ¿Dónde está el que les hizo subir del mar con el pastor de su rebaño? ¿Dónde está el que puso en medio de él su Espíritu Santo?

12 ¿El que los guió por la diestra de Moisés con el brazo de su gloria; el que rompió las aguas, haciéndose así nombre perpetuo?

13 El que los hizo ir por los abismos, como un caballo por el desierto, nunca tropezaron.

14 El Espíritu del SEÑOR los pastoreó, como a una bestia, que desciende al valle; así pastoreaste tu pueblo, para hacerte nombre glorioso.

15 Mira desde el cielo, desde la morada de tu santidad, y de tu gloria. ¿Dónde está tu celo, y tu fortaleza, la conmoción de tus entrañas, y de tus miseraciones para conmigo? ¿Se han estrechado?

16 Porque tú eres nuestro padre, que Abraham nos ignora, e Israel no nos conoce. Tú, SEÑOR, eres nuestro padre; nuestro Redentor perpetuo es tu nombre.

17 ¿Por qué, oh SEÑOR, nos has hecho errar de tus caminos? ¿Endureciste nuestro corazón a tu temor? Vuélvete por tus esclavos, por las tribus de tu heredad.

18 Por poco tiempo poseyó la tierra prometida el pueblo de tu santidad; nuestros enemigos han hollado tu Santuario.

19 Hemos sido como aquellos de quienes nunca te enseñoreaste, sobre los cuales nunca fue llamado tu nombre.

God Will Save His People and Punish Their Enemies

63 Who is this man coming from the city of Bozrah in Edom?
    His clothes are stained bright red.
Who is he? He is dressed up in all his glory.
    He is marching toward us with great strength.

The Lord answers, “It is I.
    I have won the battle.
I am mighty.
    I have saved my people.”

Why are your clothes red?
    They look as if you have been stomping
    on grapes in a winepress.

The Lord answers, “I have been stomping on the nations
    as if they were grapes.
    No one was there to help me.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry.
    That is why I stomped on them.
Their blood splashed all over my clothes.
    So my clothes were stained bright red.
I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies.
    The year for me to set my people free had come.
I looked around, but no one was there to help me.
    I was shocked that no one gave me any help.
So I used my own power to save my people.
    I had the strength to do it because I was angry.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them.
    I made them drink from the cup of my great anger.
    I poured out their blood on the ground.”

Isaiah Praises the Lord and Prays to Him

I will talk about the kind things the Lord has done.
    I’ll praise him for everything he’s done for us.
He has done many good things
    for the nation of Israel.
    That’s because he loves us and is very kind to us.
In the past he said, “They are my people.
    They are children who will be faithful to me.”
    So he saved them.
When they suffered, he suffered with them.
    He sent his angel to save them.
He set them free because he is loving and kind.
    He lifted them up and carried them.
    He did it again and again in days long ago.
10 But they refused to obey him.
    They made his Holy Spirit sad.
So he turned against them and became their enemy.
    He himself fought against them.

11 Then his people remembered what he did long ago.
    They recalled the days of Moses and his people.
They asked, “Where is the God who brought
    Israel through the Red Sea?
    Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock.
Where is the God who put
    his Holy Spirit among them?
12 He used his glorious and powerful arm
    to help Moses.
He parted the waters of the sea in front of them.
    That mighty act made him famous forever.
13     He led them through that deep sea.
Like a horse in open country,
    they didn’t trip and fall.
14 They were like cattle that are taken down to the plains.
    They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.”
That’s how he guided his people.
    So he made a glorious name for himself.

15 Lord, look down from heaven.
    Look down from your holy and glorious throne.
Where is your great love for us?
    Where is your power?
Why don’t you show us
    your tender love and concern?
16 You are our Father.
    Abraham might not accept us as his children.
    Jacob might not recognize us as his family.
But you are our Father, Lord.
    Your name is One Who Always Sets Us Free.
17 Lord, why do you let us wander away from you?
    Why do you let us become so stubborn
    that we don’t respect you?
Come back and help us.
    We are the tribes that belong to you.
18 For a little while your holy people possessed the land.
    But now our enemies have torn your temple down.
19 We are like people you never ruled over.
    We are like those who don’t belong to you.

God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption

63 Who is this coming from Edom,(A)
    from Bozrah,(B) with his garments stained crimson?(C)
Who is this, robed in splendor,
    striding forward in the greatness of his strength?(D)

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”(E)

Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?(F)

“I have trodden the winepress(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;(I)
their blood spattered my garments,(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
It was for me the day of vengeance;(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
I looked, but there was no one(L) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(M) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.(N)
I trampled(O) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk(P)
    and poured their blood(Q) on the ground.”

Praise and Prayer

I will tell of the kindnesses(R) of the Lord,
    the deeds for which he is to be praised,
    according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things(S)
    he has done for Israel,
    according to his compassion(T) and many kindnesses.
He said, “Surely they are my people,(U)
    children who will be true to me”;
    and so he became their Savior.(V)
In all their distress he too was distressed,
    and the angel(W) of his presence(X) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(Y) them;
    he lifted them up and carried(Z) them
    all the days of old.(AA)
10 Yet they rebelled(AB)
    and grieved his Holy Spirit.(AC)
So he turned and became their enemy(AD)
    and he himself fought(AE) against them.

11 Then his people recalled[b] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(AF)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(AG)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(AH) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(AI) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(AJ) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(AK)
13 who led(AL) them through the depths?(AM)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(AN)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(AO) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven(AP) and see,
    from your lofty throne,(AQ) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(AR) and your might?
    Your tenderness and compassion(AS) are withheld(AT) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(AU)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge(AV) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer(AW) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(AX) from your ways
    and harden our hearts(AY) so we do not revere(AZ) you?
Return(BA) for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes that are your inheritance.(BB)
18 For a little while(BC) your people possessed your holy place,
    but now our enemies have trampled(BD) down your sanctuary.(BE)
19 We are yours from of old;
    but you have not ruled over them,
    they have not been called[c] by your name.(BF)
