Isaiah 63:1-6

New Living Translation

Judgment against the Lord’s Enemies

63 Who is this who comes from Edom,
    from the city of Bozrah,
    with his clothing stained red?
Who is this in royal robes,
    marching in his great strength?

“It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation!
It is I, the Lord, who has the power to save!”

²Why are your clothes so red,
as if you have been treading out grapes?

³“I have been treading the winepress alone;
    no one was there to help me.
In my anger I have trampled my enemies
    as if they were grapes.
In my fury I have trampled my foes.
    Their blood has stained my clothes.
⁴For the time has come for me to avenge my people,
    to ransom them from their oppressors.
⁵I was amazed to see that no one intervened
    to help the oppressed.
So I myself stepped in to save them with my strong arm,
    and my wrath sustained me.
⁶I crushed the nations in my anger
    and made them stagger and fall to the ground,
    spilling their blood upon the earth.”
