² “Why is your clothing red,
    and your garments like those worn by the ones who tread in the winepress?^[a]

³ “I have trodden the winepress alone,
    and from my people^[b] no one was with me,
I trampled them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;
their lifeblood spattered on my garments,^[c]
    and I stained^[d] all my clothing.

⁴ “For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and the year for my redeeming work had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no helper,
    I was appalled that there was no one to give support;^[e]
so my own arm^[f] brought me victory,
    and as for my wrath, it supported me.
⁶ I trampled people^[g] in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk
        and I poured out their lifeblood on the ground.”
