25  Therefore ^gthe anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,

and ^hthe mountains quaked;

and their corpses were ⁱas refuse

in the midst of the streets.

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

26  He will ^kraise a signal for nations far away,

and ^lwhistle for them ^mfrom the ends of the earth;

and behold, quickly, speedily they come!

27  ⁿNone is weary, none stumbles,

none slumbers or sleeps,

not a waistband is loose,

not a sandal strap broken;

28  ^otheir arrows are sharp,

all their bows bent,

their horses’ hoofs seem like flint,

and their wheels ^plike the whirlwind.

29  Their roaring is like a lion,

like young lions they roar;

they growl and ^qseize their prey;

they carry it off, and none can rescue.

1  Who is this who comes from ^lEdom,

in crimsoned garments from ^lBozrah,

he who is splendid in his apparel,

^mmarching in the greatness of his strength?

“It is I, speaking in righteousness,

mighty to save.”

2  Why is your ⁿapparel red,

and your garments like his ^owho treads in the winepress?

3  ^p“I have trodden the winepress alone,

^qand from the peoples no one was with me;

I trod them in my anger

and trampled them in my wrath;

their lifeblood¹ spattered on my garments,

and stained all my apparel.

4  ^rFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,

and my year of redemption² had come.

5  I looked, but ^sthere 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;

^tI made them drunk in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
