The Lord's Day of Vengeance

63 Who is this who comes from (A)Edom,
    in crimsoned garments from (B)Bozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
    (C)marching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
    mighty to save.”

Why is your (D)apparel red,
    and your garments like his (E)who treads in the winepress?

(F)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    (G)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.

For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    behold, it descends for judgment upon (A)Edom,
    upon the people (B)I have devoted to destruction.
The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
    it is gorged with fat,
    with the blood of lambs and goats,
    with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
(C)For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
    a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
(D)Wild oxen shall (E)fall with them,
    and (F)young steers with (G)the mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
    and their soil shall be gorged with fat.

(H)For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
