Isaiah 63 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God’s Vengeance on the Nations

Isa 63:1

Who is this who comes from Edom,

With garments of [fn]glowing colors from Bozrah,

This One who is majestic in His apparel,

[fn]Marching in the greatness of His strength?

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

Isa 63:2

Why is Your apparel red,

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

Isa 63:3

“I have trodden the wine trough alone,

And from the peoples there was no one with Me.

I also trod them in My anger

And trampled them in My wrath;

And their [fn]lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,

And I [fn]stained all My clothes.

Isa 63:4

“For the day of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

Isa 63:5

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

And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;

So My own arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath upheld Me.

Isa 63:6

“I trampled down the peoples in My anger

And made them drunk with My wrath,

And I [fn]poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

Isa 63:7

I will make mention of the mercies of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD,

According to all that the LORD has granted us,

And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,

Which He has granted them according to His compassion

And according to the abundance of His mercies.

Isa 63:8

For He said, “Certainly they are My people,

Sons who will not deal falsely.”

So He became their Savior.

Isa 63:9

In all their distress [fn]He was distressed,

And the angel of His presence saved them;

In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them,

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

Isa 63:10

But they rebelled

And grieved His Holy Spirit;

Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,

He fought against them.

Isa 63:11

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

Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the [fn]shepherds of His flock?

Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of [fn]them,

Isa 63:12

Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,

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

Isa 63:13

Who led them through the depths?

Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble;

Isa 63:14

Like the cattle which go down into the valley,

The Spirit of the LORD gave [fn]them rest.

So You led Your people,

To make for Yourself a glorious name.

You Are Our Father

Isa 63:15

Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious lofty habitation;

Where are Your zeal and Your mighty deeds?

The stirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me.

Isa 63:16

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

And Israel does not recognize us.

You, LORD, are our Father,

Our Redeemer from ancient times is Your name.

Isa 63:17

Why, LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways

And harden our heart from fearing You?

Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

Isa 63:18

Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while,

Our adversaries have trampled it down.

Isa 63:19

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

Like those who were not called by Your name.
