Isaiah 63:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ He said, “[^LSurely] These are my people;
    my children will not ·lie to [deal falsely with; betray] me.”
    So he saved them.
⁹ When they ·suffered [were distressed/afflicted], he ·suffered [was distressed/afflicted] also.
    ·He sent his own angel to save them [^LThe angel/messenger of his presence/face saved them; Ex. 14:19].
Because of his love and kindness, he saved them.
    ·Since long ago [^LAll the days of old] he has ·picked [lifted] them up and carried them [Deut. 32:10–12].
¹⁰ But they ·turned [rebelled] against him [Ex. 15:24; Num. 14:11; Ps. 78:17]
    and ·made his Holy Spirit very sad [grieved his Holy Spirit; Ps. 78:40].
So he became their enemy,
    and he fought against them.
