God’s Vengeance on the Nations

1 Who is this who comes from aEdom,

With bgarments of 1glowing colors from cBozrah,

This One who is majestic in His apparel,

2Marching in the greatness of His strength?

“It is I who speak in righteousness, dmighty to save.”

2 Why is Your apparel red,

And Your garments like the one who atreads in the wine press?

3 “aI have trodden the wine trough alone,

And from the peoples there was no man with Me.

I also btrod them in My anger

And ctrampled them in My wrath;

And dtheir 1lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,

And I 2stained all My raiment.

4 “For the aday of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

5 “I looked, and there was ano one to help,

And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;

So My bown arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath upheld Me.

6 “I atrod down the peoples in My anger

And made them bdrunk in My wrath,

And I 1poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
