1 WHO is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
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; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
17 O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

1Who is this that commeth from Edom, with died garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, trauelling in the greatnesse of his strength? I that speake in righteousnesse, mightie to saue.

2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparell, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

3I haue troden the winepresse alone, and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my furie, and their blood shall be sprinkled vpon my garments, and I will staine all my raiment.

4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the yeere of my redeemed is come.

5And I looked, and there was none to helpe; and I wondered that there was none to vphold: therefore mine owne arme brought saluation vnto me, and my furie, it vpheld me.

6And I will tread downe the people in mine anger, & make them drunke in my furie, and I will bring downe their strength to the earth.

7 I will mention the louing kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on vs; and the great goodnes towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them, according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his louing kindnesses.

8For hee said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so hee was their sauiour.

9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saued them: in his loue and in his pitie hee redeemed them, and he bare them, and caried them all the dayes of olde.

10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy spirit: therefore hee was turned to be their enemie, and he fought against them.

11Then he remembred the dayes of old, Moses and his people, saying; Where is hee that brought them vp out of the Sea, with the shepheard of his flocke? where is hee that put his holy Spirit within him?

12That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arme, diuiding the water before them, to make himselfe an euerlasting name?

13That led them through the deepe as an horse in the wildernesse, that they should not stumble?

14As a beast goeth downe into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so diddest thou leade thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious Name.

15 Looke downe from heauen, and behold from the habitation of thy holinesse, and of thy glory: where is thy zeale and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?

16Doubtlesse thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel acknowledge vs not: thou, O Lord art our Father, our Redeemer, thy Name is from euerlasting.

17 O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes? and hardened our heart from thy feare? Returne for thy seruants sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18The people of thy holinesse haue possessed it but a little while: our aduersaries haue troden downe thy Sanctuarie.

19Wee are thine, thou neuer barest rule ouer them, they were not called by thy Name.

1 Who is this that comes from Edom, in crimsoned garments, from Bozrah- This one arrayed in majesty, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I, I who announce vindication, I who am mighty to save."

2 Why is your apparel red, and your garments like those of the wine presser?

3 "The wine press I have trodden alone, and of my people there was no one with me. I trod them in my anger, and trampled them down in my wrath; Their blood spurted on my garments; all my apparel I stained.

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, my year for redeeming was at hand.

5 I looked about, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that there was no one to lend support; So my own arm brought about the victory and my own wrath lent me its support.

6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger, I crushed them in my wrath, and I let their blood run out upon the ground."

7 The favors of the LORD I will recall, the glorious deeds of the LORD, Because of all he has done for us; for he is good to the house of Israel, He has favored us according to his mercy and his great kindness.

8 He said: They are indeed my people, children who are not disloyal; So he became their savior

9 in their every affliction. It was not a messenger or an angel, but he himself who saved them. Because of his love and pity he redeemed them himself, Lifting them and carrying them all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit; So he turned on them like an enemy, and fought against them.

11 Then they remembered the days of old and Moses, his servant; Where is he who brought up out of the sea the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who put his holy spirit in their midst;

12 Whose glorious arm was the guide at Moses' right; Who divided the waters before them, winning for himself eternal renown;

13 Who led them without stumbling through the depths like horses in the open country,

14 Like cattle going down into the plain, the spirit of the LORD guiding them? Thus you led your people, bringing glory to your name.

15 Look down from heaven and regard us from your holy and glorious palace! Where is your zealous care and your might, your surge of pity and your mercy? O Lord, hold not back,

16 for you are our father. Were Abraham not to know us, nor Israel to acknowledge us, You, LORD, are our father, our redeemer you are named forever.

17 Why do you let us wander, O LORD, from your ways, and harden our hearts so that we fear you not? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.

18 Why have the wicked invaded your holy place, why have our enemies trampled your sanctuary?

19 Too long have we been like those you do not rule, who do not bear your name. Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, with the mountains quaking before you.

v 1-6. Isaiah inquires. Edom, the land of Esau has long been an adversary of Israel. When Christ comes in His glory to bring vengeance on the earth, His garments will be stained with blood as of one treading grapes in a wine press. He will not need help, but will destroy His enemies while bringing deliverance to His people, Israel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 7-10. Isaiah, for the others, tells of the Lord’s goodness in the past. The angel (Christ) of His (God) presence was afflicted for Israel in all their affliction. They rebelled against His Holy Spirit (3 rd in Trinity), so God fought against them in many distresses.

 

 

 

 

 

v 11-14. When disciplined, Israel recalled the deliverance God gave from Egypt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 15-16. Isaiah petitions in behalf of the people for the Lord to look down in pity on their plight. Even though they had not been following in the path of Abraham, God is still their Father and Redeemer. 

 

 

v 17-19. God made them able to err. They could not believe because they would not believe, Isa. 6:9,10; Jn. 12:40. They had possessed the land a short time compared to the everlasting promise and their enemies defiled the sanctuary. (Or, as some feel, because of their sins, Israel had become like those who were God’s enemies.)
