The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 63 -

1
Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honorable in His clothing, || Traveling in the abundance of His power? “I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2
Why [is] Your clothing red? And Your garments as treading in a winepress?
3
I have trodden a wine vat by Myself, || And of the peoples there is no one with Me, || And I tread them in My anger, || And I trample them in My fury, || Their strength is sprinkled on My garments, || And I have defiled all My clothing.
4
For the day of vengeance [is] in My heart, || And the year of My redeemed has come.
5
And I look attentively, and there is none helping, || And I am astonished that there is none supporting, || And My own arm gives salvation to Me. And My wrathit has supported Me.
6
And I tread down peoples in My anger, || And I make them drunk in My fury, || And I bring down their strength to earth.”

God’s Mercies Recalled

7
I make mention of the kind acts of YHWH, || The praises of YHWH, || According to all that YHWH has done for us, || And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, || That He has done for them, || According to His mercies, || And according to the abundance of His kind acts.
8
And He says, “Surely they [are] My people, || Sonsthey do not lie,” and He is to them for a Savior.
9
In all their distress [He is] no adversary, || And the Messenger of His Presence saved them, || In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, || And He lifts them up, || And carries them all the days of old.
10
And they have been rebellious and have grieved His Holy Spirit, || And He turns to them for an enemy, || He Himself has fought against them.
11
And He remembers the days of old, || Moseshis people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, || The shepherd of His flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?
12
Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, || Cleaving waters from before them, || To make to Himself a continuous Name.
13
Leading them through the depths, || They do not stumble as a horse in a plain.
14
As a beast goes down into a valley, || The Spirit of YHWH causes him to rest, || So You have led Your people, || To make to Yourself a glorious Name.

A Prayer for Mercy

(Jeremiah 14:19–22)
15
Look attentively from the heavens, || And see from Your holy and beautiful habitation, || Where [is] Your zeal and Your might? The multitude of Your bowels and Your merciesAre they restrained?
16
For You [are] our Father, || For Abraham has not known us, || And Israel does not acknowledge us, || You, O YHWH, [are] our Father, || Our Redeemer from the Age, [is] Your Name.
17
Why cause us to wander, O YHWH, from Your ways? You harden our heart from Your fear, || Turn back for Your servantssake, || The tribes of Your inheritance.
18
For a little while Your holy people possessed, || Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19
We have been from of old, || You have not ruled over them, || Your Name is not called on them!
1
Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength?It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2
Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3
I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
4
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5
I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.
6
I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”

God’s Mercies Recalled

7
I will tell of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8
For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely;” so he became their Savior.
9
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
10
But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
11
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “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 among them?”
12
Who caused his glorious arm to be at Mosesright hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13
Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?
14
As the livestock that go down into the valley, the LORD’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.

A Prayer for Mercy

(Jeremiah 14:19–22)
15
Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
16
For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, LORD, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
17
O LORD, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servantssake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18
Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19
We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
