Seven Portion of Consolation Haftarah reading - Haftarah
Portion 1 | Portion 2 | Portion 3 | Portion 4 | Portion 5 | Portion 6 | Portion 7 |63:1 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 tzedakah, mighty to yasha?
63:2 Wherefore [art thou] red in thine apparel, and Thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
63:3 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.
63:4 For the Yom Nekam (vengeance) [is] in Mine heart, and My Shanat (year) Geulah (Redemption) is come.
63:5 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.
63:6 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.
63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of YHWH (יהוה), [and] the praises of YHWH (יהוה), according to all that YHWH (יהוה) hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the Beit Yisrael, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
63:8 For He said, Surely they [are] My people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Moshi'a (Saviour).
63:9 In all their tzoros (affliction) He was afflicted, and the malakh of his presence saved them: in His ahavah and in his pity He redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed His set apart Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.
63:11 Then He remembered the days of old, Mosheh, [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 set apart Spirit within him?
63:12 That led [them] by the right hand of Mosheh with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the midbar, [that] they should not stumble?
63:14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of YHWH (יהוה) caused him to rest: so didst thou lead Thy people, to make thyself a glorious Name.
63:15 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?
63:16 Doubtless thou [art] Avenu, though Avraham be ignorant of us, and Yisrael acknowledge us not: thou, O YHWH (יהוה), [art] Avenu, our redeemer; Thy Name [is] from everlasting.
63:17 O YHWH (יהוה), 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.
63:18 The people of Thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
63:19 We are [thine]: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by Thy Name.
