Isaiah 63:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ The Lord rescued his people,
and said, “They are mine.
    They won't betray me.”
⁹ It troubled the Lord
to see them in trouble,
    and his angel saved them.^[a]
The Lord was truly merciful,
    so he rescued his people.
He took them in his arms
and carried them all those years.

¹⁰ Then the Lord's people
turned against him and made
    his Holy Spirit sad.
So he became their enemy
    and attacked them.
