“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(E)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(F)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(I)
their blood spattered my garments,^(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(L) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(M) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(N)
6 I trampled^(O) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(P)
    and poured their blood^(Q) on the ground.”

¹² “Let the nations be roused;
    let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,^(A)
for there I will sit
    to judge^(B) all the nations on every side.
¹³ Swing the sickle,^(C)
    for the harvest^(D) is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,^(E)
    for the winepress^(F) is full
    and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”

¹⁴ Multitudes,^(G) multitudes
    in the valley^(H) of decision!
For the day of the Lord^(I) is near
    in the valley of decision.^(J)
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
    and the stars no longer shine.^(K)
