“It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation!
    It is I, the Lord, who has the power to save!”

² Why are your clothes so red,
    as if you have been treading out grapes?

³ “I have been treading the winepress alone;
    no one was there to help me.
In my anger I have trampled my enemies
    as if they were grapes.
In my fury I have trampled my foes.
    Their blood has stained my clothes.
⁴ For the time has come for me to avenge my people,
    to ransom them from their oppressors.
⁵ I was amazed to see that no one intervened
    to help the oppressed.
So I myself stepped in to save them with my strong arm,
    and my wrath sustained me.
⁶ I crushed the nations in my anger
    and made them stagger and fall to the ground,
    spilling their blood upon the earth.”
