1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

2 Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?

3 I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

4 For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.

5 And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.

6 And in my passion the peoples were crushed under my feet, and broken in my wrath, and I put down their strength to the earth.
