Isaiah 63:1-6

The Lord ’s Day of Vengeance

^{Tools
1}

Who is this coming from Edom^(A)
in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah—
this One who is splendid in His apparel,
rising up proudly^(a) in His great might?

It is I, proclaiming vindication,^(b)
powerful to save.

^{Tools
2}

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

^{Tools
3}

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.

^{Tools
4}

For I planned the day of vengeance,^(c)^(C)
and the year of My redemption^(d) came.

^{Tools
5}

I looked, but there was no one to help,^(D)
and I was amazed that no one assisted;
so My arm accomplished victory for Me,
and My wrath assisted Me.

^{Tools
6}

I crushed nations in My anger;
I made them drunk with My wrath^(E)
and poured out their blood on the ground.^(F)
