And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
4 For the (B)day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.
5 (C)I looked, but (D)there was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own (E)arm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
Made them drunk in My fury,
And brought down their strength to the earth.”
