Isaiah 63:1

Isaiah 63:1

The Lord in Judgment and Salvation

1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is¹ glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

2 Why ^ais Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

3 “I have ^atrodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.

4 For the ^aday of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 62:12

Isaiah 63:2 >>

Who - The church makes enquiry, and that with admiration, who it is that appears in such a habit or posture? Edom - Idumea, where Esau dwelt. It is put for all the enemies of the church. Bozrah - The capital city of Idumea. Here is also an allusion to the garments of this conqueror, Edom signifying red, and Bozrah a vintage. Glorious - Such as generals march before their armies in. Righteousness - Here Christ gives an answer, wherein he both asserts his fidelity, that he will faithfully perform what he hath promised, and that he will truly execute justice. Mighty - I have power to accomplish salvation.
