Isaiah 63

Treated in 30 passages across the library.

  • 63:9 Whenever they were in trouble, it troubled him, and the angel of his presence rescued them. In his love and his pity he redeemed them; he picked them up and carried them throughout the ages long past. 6
  • 63:1 Who is this arriving from Edom, coming from Bozrah with clothing dyed red, so majestic in his robes, pressing on in his immense strength? It is I, who speak in righteousness, with great power to save. 4
  • 63:10 But they rebelled and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so he changed into their enemy and went to war against them himself. 4
  • 63:16 Surely you are our Father, even if Abraham has never heard of us and Israel would not claim us as his own. You, LORD, are our Father; from ages past your name has been Our Redeemer. 4
  • 63:17 LORD, why do you send us straying from your paths, and make our hearts so hard that we no longer fear you? Turn back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you. 3
  • 63:18 Your holy people held the land only a short time; now our enemies have trampled your sanctuary. 3
  • 63:3 Alone I have trampled the grapes in the press; from the peoples no one joined me. In my anger I stamped on them; in my fury I crushed them underfoot. Their juice splashed across my garments, and every piece of my clothing is stained. 2
  • 63:5 I looked around, and there was no one to help; I stared, dismayed, and no one came to support. So my own arm brought me victory, and my fury kept me going. 2
  • 63:8 He said, "Without doubt they are my people, children who will not be false to me." So he became the one who saved them. 1
  • 63:15 Look down from the heavens; see from your exalted dwelling, holy and splendid! What has become of your zeal and your mighty acts? Your tender feeling and your compassion hold themselves back from me. 1
