Isaiah

Isaiah 63:1–4

¹Who is this coming from Edom,

from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments?

Who is this robed in splendor,

marching in the greatness of His strength?

“It is I, proclaiming vindication,^a

mighty to save.”

²Why are Your clothes red,

and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?

³“I have trodden the winepress alone,

and no one from the nations was with Me.

I trampled them in My anger

and trod them down in My fury;

their blood spattered My garments,

and all My clothes were stained.

⁴For the day of vengeance was in My heart,

and the year of My redemption had come.
