  1. Revelation 2:27 Psalm 2:9

Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?(A)

“I have trodden the winepress(B) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(C) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;(D)
their blood spattered my garments,(E)
    and I stained all my clothing.
It was for me the day of vengeance;(F)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
I looked, but there was no one(G) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(H) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.(I)
I trampled(J) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk(K)
    and poured their blood(L) on the ground.”
