The Lord's Day of Vengeance

Isaiah 63

1 Who is this who comes from l Edom,
in crimsoned garments from l Bozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
m marching in the greatness of his strength?
"It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save."

2 Why is your n apparel red,
and your garments like his o who treads in the winepress?

3 p "I have trodden the winepress alone,
q and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood 1 spattered on my garments,
and stained all my apparel.
 4 r For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption 2 had come.
 5 I looked, but s 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.
 6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
t I made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
