God’s Day of Vengeance

63 “Who is this coming from Edom,
    from Bozrah, in garments stained crimson?
Who is this, robed in such splendor,
    marching in his great might?
It is I, speaking in vindication,
    mighty to save.

“Why is your clothing red,
    and your garments like those worn by the ones who tread in the winepress?[a]

“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    and from my people[b] no one was with me,
I trampled them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;
their lifeblood spattered on my garments,[c]
    and I stained[d] all my clothing.
