Isaias

8 And he said, Only they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely; and he became their Saviour.

9 In all their distress he was distressed, and the angel of his Face saved them; in his love and in his forbearance he re deemed them; and be lifted them up, and carried them all the days of old.

10 And they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit; and he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

11 And he remembered the days of old, Moses, his people; 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?

12 That caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 That caused them to go through the deeps, like a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?

14 As a beast goeth down ’the valley, the Spirit of the LORD brought him to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a name of beauty.

15 Look from heaven, and see from the habitation of thy holiness and thy beauty: where is thy jealousy, and thy mighty acts? the sounding of thy bowels and thy mercies are restrained towards me.

16 For thou art our father; for Abraham knoweth us not, Israel doth not recognize us: thy name is Our Redeemer from of old.

17 Why dost thou make us stray, O LORD, from thy ways, and harden our heart from fearing thee? Return, for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18 Thy holy people have possessed for a little while; our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

19 We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, upon whom thy name was not called.
