Isaiah 63:1-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Lord Alone Wins His Victory

63 Who is this coming from Bozrah in Edom
with his clothes stained bright red?
Who is this dressed in splendor,
going forward with great strength?

“It is I, the Lord. I am coming to announce my victory.
I am powerful enough to save ⌞you⌟.”

²Why are your clothes red
and your garments like those who trample grapes in a winepress?

³“I have trampled alone in the winepress.
No one was with me.
In my anger I trampled on people.
In my wrath I stomped on them.
Their blood splattered my clothes
so all my clothing has been stained.
⁴I planned the day of vengeance.
The year for my reclaiming ⌞you⌟ has come.
⁵I looked, but there was no help.
I was astounded that there was no ⌞outside⌟ support.
So with my own power I won a victory.
My anger supported me.
⁶In my anger I trampled on people.
In my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground.”
