God's
Vengeance on the Nations |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 63:1 |
|
Who is this who comes from Edom, With garments
of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching
in the greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty
to save." |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:2 |
|
Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like
the one who treads in the wine press? |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 63:3 |
|
"I have trodden the wine trough alone, And from
the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled
them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained
all My raiment. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 63:4 |
|
"For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And
My year of redemption has come. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 63:5 |
|
"I looked, and 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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 63:6 |
|
"I trod down the peoples in My anger And made
them drunk in My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
God's Ancient Mercies Recalled |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 63:7 |
|
I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses
of the LORD, 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 lovingkindnesses. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:8 |
|
For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons
who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:9 |
|
In all their affliction He was afflicted, 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:10 |
|
But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 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 shepherds of
His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them, |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 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, |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:13 |
|
Who led them through the depths? Like the horse
in the wilderness, they did not stumble; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:14 |
|
As the cattle which go down into the valley,
The Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So You led Your people, To make for Yourself
a glorious name. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
"You Are Our Father" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:15 |
|
Look down from heaven and see from Your holy
and glorious habitation; Where are Your zeal and Your mighty deeds? The stirrings
of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:16 |
|
For You are our Father, though Abraham does
not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our
Redeemer from of old is Your name. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:17 |
|
Why, O 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:18 |
|
Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for
a little while, Our adversaries have trodden it down. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 63:19 |
|
We have become like those over whom You have
never ruled, Like those who were not called by Your name. |
