“For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and the year for my redeeming work had come.
I looked, but there was no helper,
    I was appalled that there was no one to give support;[a]
so my own arm[b] brought me victory,
    and as for my wrath, it supported me.
I trampled people[c] in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk
        and I poured out their lifeblood on the ground.”
