[c]Wherefore is thine apparel red, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winepress?

Isaiah 63:1 This prophecy is against the Idumeans and enemies which persecuted the Church, on whom God will take vengeance, and is here set forth all bloody after he hath destroyed them in Bozrah, the chief city of the Idumeans: for these were their greatest enemies, and under the title of circumcision and the kindred of Abraham, claimed to themselves the chief religion, and hated the true worshippers, Ps. 137:7.
  2. Isaiah 63:1 God answereth them that asked this question, Who is this? etc. and saith, Ye see now performed in deed the vengeance which my Prophets threatened.
  3. Isaiah 63:2 Another question, to the which the Lord answereth.
