Isaiah Chapter 63 (NIV)
undefined
God’s Day of Vengeance and RedemptionWho is this coming from Edom,from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?Who is this, robed in splendor,striding forward in the greatness of his strength?“It is I, speaking in righteousness,mighty to save.”
undefined
Why are your garments red,like those of one treading the winepress?
undefined
“I have trodden the winepress alone;from the nations no one was with me.I trampled them in my angerand trod them down in my wrath;their blood spattered my garments,and I stained all my clothing.
undefined
For the day of vengeance was in my heart,and the year of my redemption has come.
undefined
I looked, but there was no one to help,I was appalled that no one gave support;so my own arm worked salvation for me,and my own wrath sustained me.
undefined
I trampled the nations in my anger;in my wrath I made them drunkand poured their blood on the ground.”
undefined
Praise and PrayerI will tell of the kindnesses 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 he has donefor the house of Israel,according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
undefined
He said, “Surely they are my people,sons who will not be false to me”;and so he became their Savior.
undefined
In all their distress he too was distressed,and the angel of his presence saved them.In his love and mercy he redeemed them;he lifted them up and carried themall the days of old.
undefined
Yet they rebelledand grieved his Holy Spirit.So he turned and became their enemyand he himself fought against them.
undefined
Then his people recalled the days of old,the days of Moses and his people—where is he who brought them through the sea,with the shepherd of his flock?Where is he who sethis Holy Spirit among them,
undefined
who sent his glorious arm of powerto be at Moses’ right hand,who divided the waters before them,to gain for himself everlasting renown,
undefined
who led them through the depths?Like a horse in open country,they did not stumble;
undefined
like cattle that go down to the plain,they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.This is how you guided your peopleto make for yourself a glorious name.
undefined
Look down from heaven and seefrom your lofty throne, holy and glorious.Where are your zeal and your might?Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us.
undefined
But you are our Father,though Abraham does not know usor Israel acknowledge us;you, O Lord, are our Father,our Redeemer from of old is your name.
undefined
Why, O Lord, do you make us wander from your waysand harden our hearts so we do not revere you?Return for the sake of your servants,the tribes that are your inheritance.
undefined
For a little while your people possessed your holy place,but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary.
undefined
We are yours from of old;but you have not ruled over them,they have not been called by your name.
