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.
For I planned the day of vengeance,(B)
and the year of my redemption[a] came.

I made them drunk with my wrath(D)
and poured out their blood on the ground.(E)
