Strongs On/Off
Context
The Victorious Divine Warrior
63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom , dressed in bright red , coming from Bozrah ? Who is this one wearing royal attire , who marches confidently because of his great strength ? “It is I , the one who announces vindication , and who is able to deliver !”
63:2 Why are your clothes red ? Why do you look like someone who has stomped on grapes in a vat ?
63:3 “I have stomped grapes in the winepress all by myself ; no one from the nations joined me. I stomped on them in my anger ; I trampled them down in my rage . Their juice splashed on my garments , and stained all my clothes .
63:4 For I looked forward to the day of vengeance , and then payback time arrived .
63:5 I looked , but there was no one to help ; I was shocked because there was no one offering support . So my right arm accomplished deliverance ; my raging anger drove me on .
