The Divine Warrior and Vengeance
Isaiah 63:1-6
1
`Who is this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' --`I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.'
2
`Wherefore is thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'
3
--`A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.
4
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.
5
And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath--it hath supported me.
6
And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.
