Why are Your clothes red,
and Your garments like one who treads a winepress?(A)

I trampled the winepress alone,
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,[a](B)
and the year of My redemption[b] came.
I looked, but there was no one to help,(C)
and I was amazed that no one assisted;
so My arm accomplished victory for Me,
and My wrath assisted Me.
I crushed nations in My anger;
I made them drunk with My wrath(D)
and poured out their blood on the ground.(E)

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

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