  1. Revelation 19:15 Greek shepherd

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

(C)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    (D)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.
(E)For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and my year of redemption[b] had come.
I looked, but (F)there was no one to help;
    I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
    and my wrath upheld me.
I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
    (G)I made them drunk in my wrath,
    and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
