1Who is this who comes from Edom,from the city of Bozrah,with his clothing stained red?Who is this in royal robes,marching in his great strength?"It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation!It is I, the Lord, who has the power to save!"
8He said, "They are my very own people.Surely they will not betray me again."And he became their Savior.
9In all their suffering he also suffered,and he personally63:9 Hebrew and the angel of his presence. rescued them.In his love and mercy he redeemed them.He lifted them up and carried themthrough all the years.
16Surely you are still our Father!Even if Abraham and Jacob63:16 Hebrew Israel. See note on 14:1. would disown us,Lord, you would still be our Father.You are our Redeemer from ages past.
