This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 63:1-19. Messiah coming as the avenger, in answer to His people’s prayers.
Messiah, approaching Jerusalem after having avenged His people on His and their enemies, is represented under imagery taken from the destruction of “Edom,” the type of the last and most bitter foes of God and His people (see Isa 34:5, etc.).
Who - the question of the prophet in prophetic vision.
dyed - scarlet with blood (Isa 63:2, Isa 63:3; Rev 19:13).
Bozrah - (See on Isa 34:6).
travelling - rather, stately; literally, “throwing back the head” [Gesenius].
speak in righteousness - answer of Messiah. I, who have in faithfulness given a promise of deliverance, am now about to fulfil it. Rather, speak of righteousness (Isa 45:19; Isa 46:13); salvation being meant as the result of His “righteousness” [Maurer].
save - The same Messiah that destroys the unbeliever saves the believer.
