² Why is your ^(A)apparel red,
    and your garments like his ^(B)who treads in the winepress?

^3 (C)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    ^(D)and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
    and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood^[a] spattered on my garments,
    and stained all my apparel.
^4 (E)For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and my year of redemption^[b] had come.
⁵ I looked, but ^(F)there was no one to help;
    I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
    and my wrath upheld me.
⁶ I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
    ^(G)I made them drunk in my wrath,
    and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

“Hallelujah!
^(D)The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

^(A)“Just are you, ^(B)O Holy One, ^(C)who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
⁶ For ^(D)they have shed the blood of ^(E)saints and prophets,
    and ^(F)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    ^(H)true and just are your judgments!”

¹⁶ For he did not remember to show kindness,
    but pursued ^(A)the poor and needy
    and ^(B)the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
^17 (C)He loved to curse; let curses come^[a] upon him!
    He did not delight in blessing; may it be far^[b] from him!
