The Lord Judges His People

63 Who is this coming from Edom?
    He comes from the city of Bozrah dressed in red.
Who is this dressed in fine clothes?
    He marches forward with his great power.

He says, “I, the Lord, speak what is right.
    I have the power to save you.”

Why are your clothes bright red
    as if you had walked on the grapes to make wine?

The Lord answers, “I have walked in the winepress alone.
    No one among the nations helped me.
I was angry and walked on the nations.
    I crushed them because of my anger.
Blood splashed on my clothes.
    I stained all my clothing.

    mighty to save.”(E)

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

“I have trodden the winepress(G) alone;

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.
