1¿Quién es este que viene de Edom, de Bosra, con vestidos rojos? ¿Este hermoso en su vestido, que marcha en la grandeza de su poder? Yo, el que hablo en justicia, grande para salvar.
2¿Por qué es rojo tu vestido, y tus ropas como del que ha pisado en lagar?
3He pisado yo solo el lagar, y de los pueblos nadie había conmigo; los pisé con mi ira, y los hollé con mi furor; y su sangre salpicó mis vestidos, y manché todas mis ropas.
4Porque el día de la venganza está en mi corazón, y el año de mis redimidos ha llegado.
5Miré, y no había quien ayudara, y me maravillé que no hubiera quien sustentase; y me salvó mi brazo, y me sostuvo mi ira.
6Y con mi ira hollé los pueblos, y los embriagué en mi furor, y derramé en tierra su sangre.
7De las misericordias de Jehová haré memoria, de las alabanzas de Jehová, conforme a todo lo que Jehová nos ha dado, y de la grandeza de sus beneficios hacia la casa de Israel, que les ha hecho según sus misericordias, y según la multitud de sus piedades.
8Porque dijo: Ciertamente mi pueblo son, hijos que no mienten; y fue su Salvador.
9En toda angustia de ellos él fue angustiado, y el ángel de su faz los salvó; en su amor y en su clemencia los redimió, y los trajo, y los levantó todos los días de la antigüedad.
10Mas ellos fueron rebeldes, e hicieron enojar su santo espíritu; por lo cual se les volvió enemigo, y él mismo peleó contra ellos.
11Pero se acordó de los días antiguos, de Moisés y de su pueblo, diciendo: ¿Dónde está el que les hizo subir del mar con el pastor de su rebaño?, ¿dónde el que puso en medio de él su santo espíritu,
12el que los guio por la diestra de Moisés con el brazo de su gloria; el que dividió las aguas delante de ellos, haciéndose así nombre perpetuo,
13el que los condujo por los abismos, como un caballo por el desierto, sin que tropezaran?
14El Espíritu de Jehová los pastoreó, como a una bestia que desciende al valle; así pastoreaste a tu pueblo, para hacerte nombre glorioso.
15Mira desde el cielo, y contempla desde tu santa y gloriosa morada. ¿Dónde está tu celo, y tu poder, la conmoción de tus entrañas y tus piedades para conmigo? ¿Se han estrechado?
16Pero tú eres nuestro padre, si bien Abraham nos ignora, e Israel no nos conoce; tú, oh Jehová, eres nuestro padre; nuestro Redentor perpetuo es tu nombre.
17¿Por qué, oh Jehová, nos has hecho errar de tus caminos, y endureciste nuestro corazón a tu temor? Vuélvete por amor de tus siervos, por las tribus de tu heredad.
18Por poco tiempo lo poseyó tu santo pueblo; nuestros enemigos han hollado tu santuario.
19Hemos venido a ser como aquellos de quienes nunca te enseñoreaste, sobre los cuales nunca fue llamado tu nombre.

Versículo 2
I. The prophet asks why His garments are "dyed" and "red."
The prophet asks why His garments are "dyed" and "red."
winefat--rather, the "wine-press," wherein the grapes were trodden with the feet; the juice would stain the garment of him who trod them (Rev 14:19-20; Rev 19:15). The image was appropriate, as the country round Bozrah abounded in grapes. This final blow inflicted by Messiah and His armies (Rev 19:13-15) shall decide His claim to the kingdoms u surped by Satan, and by the "beast," to whom Satan delegates his power. It will be a day of judgment to the hostile Gentiles, as His first coming was a day of judgment to the unbelieving Jews.

Reply of Messiah. For the image, see Lam 1:15. He "treads the wine-press" here not as a sufferer, but as an inflicter of vengeance.

blood--literally, "spirited juice" of the grape, pressed out by treading [GESENIUS].

Versículo 4
III. is--rather, "was." This assigns the reason why He has thus destroyed the foe (Zep 3:8).
is--rather, "was." This assigns the reason why He has thus destroyed the foe (Zep 3:8).
my redeemed--My people to be redeemed.
day . . . year--here, as in Isa 34:8; Isa 61:2, the time of "vengeance" is described as a "day"; that of grace and of "recompense" to the "redeemed," as a "year."

The same words as in Isa 59:16, except that there it is His "righteousness," here it is His "fury," which is said to have upheld Him.

Israel's penitential confession and prayer for restoration (Psa 102:17, Psa 102:20), extending from Isa. 63:7-64:12.
loving-kindnesses . . . praises . . . mercies . . . loving-kindnesses--The plurals and the repetitions imply that language is inadequate to express the full extent of God's goodness.

he--Jehovah "said," that is, thought, in choosing them as His covenant-people; so "said" (Psa 95:10). Not that God was ignorant that the Jews would not keep faith with Him; but God is here said, according to human modes of thought to say within Himself what He might naturally have expected, as the result of His goodness to the Jews; thus the enormity of their unnatural perversity is the more vividly set forth.
lie--prove false to Me (compare Psa 44:17).
so--in virtue of His having chosen them, He became their Saviour. So the "therefore" (Jer 31:33). His eternal choice is the ground of His actually saving men (Eph 1:3-4).

he was afflicted--English Version reads the Hebrew as the Keri (Margin), does, "There was affliction to Him." But the Chetib (text) reads, "There was no affliction" (the change in Hebrew being only of one letter); that is, "In all their affliction there was no (utterly overwhelming) affliction" [GESENIUS]; or, for "Hardly had an affliction befallen them, when the angel of His presence saved them" [MAURER]; or, as best suits the parallelism, "In all their straits there was no straitness in His goodness to them" [HOUBIGANT], (Jdg 10:16; Mic 2:7; Co2 6:12).
angel of his presence--literally, "of His face," that is, who stands before Him continually; Messiah (Exo 14:19; Exo 23:20-21; Pro 8:30), language applicable to no creature (Exo 32:34; Exo 33:2, Exo 33:14; Num 20:16; Mal 3:1).
bare them-- (Isa 46:3-4; Isa 40:11; Exo 19:4; Deu 32:11-12).

Versículo 10
IX. vexed--grieved (Psa 78:40; Psa 95:10; Act 7:51; Eph 4:30; Heb 3:10, Heb 3:17).
vexed--grieved (Psa 78:40; Psa 95:10; Act 7:51; Eph 4:30; Heb 3:10, Heb 3:17).

remembered--Notwithstanding their perversity, He forgot not His covenant of old; therefore He did not wholly forsake them (Lev 26:40-42, Lev 26:44-45; Psa 106:45-46); the Jews make this their plea with God, that He should not now forsake them.
saying--God is represented, in human language, mentally speaking of Himself and His former acts of love to Israel, as His ground for pitying them notwithstanding their rebellion.
sea--Red Sea.
shepherd--Moses; or if the Hebrew be read plural, "shepherds," Moses, Aaron, and the other leaders (so Psa 77:20).
put . . . Spirit . . . within him--Hebrew, "in the inward parts of him," that is, Moses; or it refers to the flock, "in the midst of his people" (Num 11:17, Num 11:25; Neh 9:20; Hag 2:5).

As a beast . . . rest--image from a herd led "down" from the hills to a fertile and well-watered "valley" (Psa 23:2); so God's Spirit "caused Israel to rest" in the promised land after their weary wanderings.

thou . . . father--of Israel, by right not merely of creation, but also of electing adoption (Isa 64:8; Deu 32:6; Ch1 29:10).
though Abraham . . . Israel--It had been the besetting temptation of the Jews to rest on the mere privilege of their descent from faithful Abraham and Jacob (Mat 3:9; Joh 8:39; Joh 4:12); now at last they renounce this, to trust in God alone as their Father, notwithstanding all appearances to the contrary. Even though Abraham, our earthly father, on whom we have prided ourselves, disown us, Thou wilt not (Isa 49:15; Psa 27:10). Isaac is not mentioned, because not all his posterity was admitted to the covenant, whereas all Jacob's was; Abraham is specified because he was the first father of the Jewish race.
everlasting--an argument why He should help them, namely, because of His everlasting immutability.

made us to err--that is, "suffer" us to err and to be hardened in our heart. They do not mean to deny their own blameworthiness, but confess that through their own fault God gave them over to a reprobate mind (Isa 6:9-10; Psa 119:10; Rom 1:28).
Return-- (Num 10:36; Psa 90:13).
17
Versículo 18
17. people of . . . holiness--Israel dedicated as holy unto God (Isa 62:12; Deu 7:6).
people of . . . holiness--Israel dedicated as holy unto God (Isa 62:12; Deu 7:6).
possessed--namely, the Holy Land, or Thy "sanctuary," taken from the following clause, which is parallel to this (compare Isa 64:10-11; Psa 74:6-8).

thine . . . never--rather, "We are Thine from of old; Thou barest not rule over them" [BARNES]. LOWTH translates, "We for long have been as those over whom Thou hast not ruled, who are not called by Thy name"; "for long" thus stands in contrast to "but a little while" (Isa 63:18). But the analogy of Isa 63:18 makes it likely that the first clause in this verse refers to the Jews, and the second to their foes, as English Version and BARNES translate it. The Jews' foes are aliens who have unjustly intruded into the Lord's heritage.
