The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

 1 Who is this that ^acometh from ^bEdom, 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 ^ared in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the ^bwinefat?

 3 I have trodden the ^awinepress 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 ^bsprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

 4 For the day of ^avengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my ^bredeemed 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 ^asalvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

 6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and ^amake them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

 7 ¶I will mention the ^alovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great ^bgoodness 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 ^aSaviour.

 9 In all their ^aaffliction he was afflicted, and the ^bangel of his ^cpresence saved them: in his ^dlove and in his pity he ^eredeemed them; and he bare them, and ^fcarried them all the days of old.

 10 ¶But they ^arebelled, and ^bvexed his ^choly Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their ^denemy, and he fought against them.

 11 Then ^ahe remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the ^bsea with the ^cshepherd of his ^dflock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within ^ehim?

 12 That led them by the right hand of ^aMoses with his glorious arm, ^bdividing 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 ^aAs a beast goeth down into the valley, the ^bSpirit of the Lord caused ^chim to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious ^dname.

 15 ¶^aLook down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy ^bholiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, ^cthe sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

 16 Doubtless thou art our ^afather, though Abraham ^bbe ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from ^ceverlasting.

 17 ¶O Lord, why hast thou ^amade us to err from thy ways, and ^bhardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

 18 The ^apeople of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have ^btrodden down thy sanctuary.

 19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy ^aname.
