*
Who is this that comes from Edom ,
in crimsoned garments from Bozrah ,
he that is glorious in his apparel ,
marching in the greatness of his strength ? "
It is I ,
announcing vindication ,
mighty to save ."
*
Why is thy apparel red ,
and thy garments like his that treads in the wine press ?
* "
I have trodden the wine press alone ,
and from the peoples no one was with me ;
I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath ;
their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments ,
and I have stained all my raiment .
*
For the day of vengeance was in my heart ,
and my year of redemption has come .
*
I looked ,
but there was no one to help ;
I was appalled ,
but there was no one to uphold ;
so my own arm brought me victory ,
and my wrath upheld me .
*
I trod down the peoples in my anger ,
I made them drunk in my wrath ,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth ."
