 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Who is this who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." | 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. | 1 Who is this coming from Bozrah in Edom with his clothes stained bright red? Who is this dressed in splendor, going forward with great strength? "It is I, the LORD. I am coming to announce my victory. I am powerful enough to save [you]." | 1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." | 1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red 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 Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press? | 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? | 2 Why are your clothes red and your garments like those who trample grapes in a winepress? | 2 Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat? | 2 Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, And thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? | 3 "I have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My raiment. | 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. | 3 "I have trampled alone in the winepress. No one was with me. In my anger I trampled on people. In my wrath I stomped on them. Their blood splattered my clothes so all my clothing has been stained. | 3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing. | 3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel. | 4 "For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come. | 4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. | 4 I planned the day of vengeance. The year for my reclaiming [you] has come. | 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. | 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come. | 5 "I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me. | 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. | 5 I looked, but there was no help. I was astounded that there was no [outside] support. So with my own power I won a victory. My anger supported me. | 5 I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me. | 5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "I trod down the peoples in My anger And made them drunk in My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth." | 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. | 6 In my anger I trampled on people. In my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground." | 6 I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth." | 6 And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth. | God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled |

So He became their Savior. | 8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. | 8 He said, "They are my people, children who will not lie to me."

In his love and compassion he reclaimed them. He always held them and carried them in the past. | 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 bore them, and carried them all the days of old. | 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 bore them and carried them all the days of old. | 10 But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them. | 10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. | 10 But they rebelled and offended his Holy Spirit. So he turned against them as their enemy; he fought against them. | 10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them. | 10 But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble; | 13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? | 13 Where is the one who led them through the deep water?

| 16 For You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our Redeemer from of old is Your name. | 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. | 16 You are our Father. Even though Abraham doesn't know us and Israel doesn't pay attention to us, O LORD, you are our Father. Your name is our Defender From Everlasting. | 16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, Yahweh, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name. | 16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name. | 17 Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage. | 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. | 17 O LORD, why do you let us wander from your ways and become so stubborn that we are unable to fear you? Return for the sake of your servants. They are the tribes that belong to you. | 17 O Yahweh, why do you make us to err from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance. | 17 Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. | 18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, Our adversaries have trodden it down. | 18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. | 18 Your holy people possessed the land for a little while.
