THE LORD’S DAY OF VENGEANCE

63 Who is this coming from Edomi

in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah—

this one who is splendid in his apparel,

striding in his formidableB might?

It is I, proclaiming vindication,C

powerful to save.

2 Why are your clothes red,

and your garments like one who treads a winepress?j

3 I trampled the winepress alone,

and no one from the nations was with me.

I trampled them in my anger

and ground them underfoot in my fury;

their blood spattered my garments,

and all my clothes were stained.

4 For I planned the day of vengeance,k

and the year of my redemptionD came.

5 I looked, but there was no one to help,l

and I was amazed that no one assisted;

so my arm accomplished victory for me,

and my wrath assisted me.

6 I crushed nations in my anger;

I made them drunk with my wrathm

and poured out their blood on the ground.n
