The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 63:10-19

  1. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

  2. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

  3. That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

  4. That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

  5. As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

  6. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

  10. We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
