With crimsoned garments from Bozrah?
This that is glorious in his apparel,
Stately in the greatness of his strength?'—

|
TJBU
| 63:1
| Who hath spoken these things? He who shall bring the blow upon Persia, the mighty vengeance upon Bozrah, to execute vengeance of judgment of His people, as He hath sworn unto them by His Word. He hath said, Behold, I shall reveal myself as I have spoken in righteous ness, great is my power to save.

And their lifeblood is dashed against My garments,
And I have stained all My raiment.
|
TJBU
| 63:3
| Behold, as the grapes are trodden in the vat, thus He shall increase the slaughter in the camps of the nations; they shall have no strength before me: yea, I will slay them in my anger, and tread them down in my fury; and I will break the strength of their mighty ones before me, and all their wise men will I consume.

And I beheld in astonishment, and there was none to uphold;
Therefore Mine own arm brought salvation unto Me,

|

And He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
|
TJBU
| 63:9
| Whenever they sinned against Him, that He might have brought upon them distress. He did not distress them; but an angel was sent from Him, who in His mercy redeemed them; and in His compassion, behold,' He delivered them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

| Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses:
'Where is He that brought them up out of the sea
With the shepherds of His flock?
Where is He that put His holy spirit
In the midst of them?
|
TJBU
| 63:11
| And He had compassion for the glory of His name, because of the remembrance of His goodness of old, the mighty works which He did by the hands of Moses for His people; lest the Gentiles should say, Where is He that brought them up out of the sea? Where is He that led them through the wilderness, as a shepherd his flock? Where is He that made the word of His holy prophets to dwell amongst them?
|

To make Himself an everlasting name?

|
Isaiah 63:13
|
JPS
| 63:13
| That led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?
|
TJBU
| 63:13
| That led them through the depths, as a horse that stumbleth not in the plain? thus also they stumbled not.
|
|
Isaiah 63:14
|
JPS

The spirit of the LORD caused them to rest;
So didst Thou lead Thy people,
To make Thyself a glorious name.'

Even from Thy holy and glorious habitation;
Where is Thy zeal and Thy mighty acts,
The yearning of Thy heart and Thy compassions,
Now restrained toward me?
|
TJBU
| 63:15
| Look down from heaven, and reveal Thyself from the habitation of Thy holiness and of Thy glory: where is Thy vengeance, and Thy great might? the multitude of Thy mercies and Thy compassion towards me are restrained.
|
|
Isaiah 63:16
|
JPS
| 63:16

For Abraham knoweth us not,
And Israel doth not acknowledge us;
Thou, O LORD, art our Father,
Our Redeemer from everlasting is Thy name.
|
TJBU
| 63:16
| For Thou art He, whose mercies towards us are as many as a father's towards his children: for Abraham hath not brought us up out of Egypt, and Israel hath not wrought for us wonderful works in the wilderness; Thou art the Lord; Thy mercies towards us are many, like a father's towards his children, O, our redeemer; Thy name is from everlasting.
|
|
Isaiah 63:17
|
JPS
| 63:17
| O LORD, why dost Thou make us to err from Thy ways,
And hardenest our heart from Thy fear?
Return for Thy servants' sake,
The tribes of Thine inheritance.
|
TJBU
| 63:17
| Why hast Thou cast us off, Lord, that we should go astray from the paths which are right in Thy sight, as the nations which have no part in the instruction of Thy law? Our heart is not turned away from Thy fear: return Thy Shekinah unto Thy people, for the sake of Thy righteous ser vants, unto whom Thou hast sworn by Thy Word to make the tribes amongst themThine inheritance.
|
|

| Thy holy people they have well nigh driven out,
Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.
|

| The people of Thy holiness have possessed Thy sanctuary but a little time, our adversaries have trodden it down.
|
|
Isaiah 63:19
|
JPS
| 63:19
| We are become as they over whom Thou never borest rule,
As they that were not called by Thy name.
Oh, that Thou wouldest rend the heavens, that Thou wouldest come down,
That the mountains might quake at Thy presence,
|
TJBU
| 63:19
| We are Thy people that were of old: not unto the Gentiles hast Thou given the doctrine of Thy law, neither is Thy name invoked upon them; not unto them hast Thou inclined the heavens and revealed Thyself; the mountains quaked before Thee.
