and your garments like theirs who tread the winepress?”(B)

their juice spattered on my garments,
and I stained all my robes.(C)
4 For the day of vengeance was in my mind,
and the year for my redeeming work had come.(D)
5 I looked, but there was no helper;
I was abandoned, and there was no one to sustain me,
so my own arm brought me victory,
and my wrath sustained me.(E)

I crushed them[a] in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”(F)
