“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(E)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(F)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(I)
their blood spattered my garments,^(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(L) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(M) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(N)
6 I trampled^(O) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(P)
    and poured their blood^(Q) on the ground.”

¹⁰ But that day^(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance^(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour^(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.^(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice^(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.^(F)

²⁸ Listen to the fugitives^(A) and refugees from Babylon
    declaring in Zion^(B)
how the Lord our God has taken vengeance,^(C)
    vengeance for his temple.^(D)

²⁹ “Summon archers against Babylon,
    all those who draw the bow.^(E)
Encamp all around her;
    let no one escape.^(F)
Repay^(G) her for her deeds;^(H)
    do to her as she has done.
For she has defied^(I) the Lord,
    the Holy One^(J) of Israel.

¹⁵ I will take vengeance^(A) in anger and wrath
    on the nations that have not obeyed me.”

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold
    will be able to save them
    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”^(A)

In the fire of his jealousy^(B)
    the whole earth will be consumed,^(C)
for he will make a sudden end
    of all who live on the earth.^(D)
