Isaiah 63:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Why are your clothes red?
    They look as if you have been stomping
    on grapes in a winepress.

³ The Lord answers, “I have been stomping on the nations
    as if they were grapes.
    No one was there to help me.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry.
    That is why I stomped on them.
Their blood splashed all over my clothes.
    So my clothes were stained bright red.
⁴ I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies.
    The year for me to set my people free had come.
