ISAIAH CHAPTER 65

The closing verses of the previous section expressed the cry of pain of Israel in exile over the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, asking how God can hold His peace and afflict us so greatly (Is. 64:8-11).

But in the new section that opens in the first verse of our present chapter, "It is as if God replies to the exiles over their complaint, saying: How can I redeem you? Did I not make Myself available to be sought out in your time of trouble? But this was of no benefit, because the people did not ask and did not seek Me out" (Metzudas David on v 1).

ISAIAH CHAPTER 63

"Who is this that comes from Edom, with crimsoned garments from Batzrah…?" (v 1). Verses 1-5 of this chapter are a prophecy about God's vengeance against Edom in time to come. Edom's guardian angel in heaven will be "killed" first. In destroying Edom, God is compared to a warrior taking vengeance on his enemies, his garments red from the blood of the killing. It is as if someone is asking in astonishment: Who this is? and God replies: "I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save" – "I speak and promise to do justice for Israel, I have abundant power to save them, as I have promised" (see Metzudas David & RaDaK ad loc.).
