Isaiah 63:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

For the day of vengeance (is) in mine heart. "Is" - rather, was. This assigns the reason why He has thus destroyed the foe (Zephaniah 3:8).

The year of my redeemed - of my people to be redeemed.

Day ... year - here, as in Isaiah 34:8; Isaiah 41:2, the time of "vengeance" is described as a "day" - that of grace and of 'recompence' to the "redeemed," as a "year." God delights in grace, rather than in vengeance.

Isaiah 63:4

4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
