Isaiah 63:3
New English Translation
Isaiah 63:3
New English Translation
3 “I have stomped grapes in the winepress all by myself;
no one from the nations joined me.
I stomped on them[a] in my anger;
I trampled them down in my rage.
Their juice splashed on my garments,
and stained[b] all my clothes.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 63:3 sn Nations, headed by Edom, are the object of the Lord’s anger (see v. 6). He compares military slaughter to stomping on grapes in a vat.
- Isaiah 63:3 tn Heb “and I stained.” For discussion of the difficult verb form, see HALOT 170 s.v. II גאל. Perhaps the form is mixed, combining the first person forms of the imperfect (note the alef prefix) and perfect (note the תי- ending).
