Isaiah 63:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ In the past he said, “They are my people.
    They are children who will be faithful to me.”
    So he saved them.
⁹ 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.
