4  but ^ewith righteousness he shall judge the poor,

and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,

and ^fwith the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

10  For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,

and Moab shall be trampled down in his place,

as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.¹

11  And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it

as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,

but the Lord will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill² of his hands.

12  And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,

ⁱlay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.

1  ^dWho is this who comes from Edom,

in crimsoned garments from Bozrah,

he who is splendid in his apparel,

marching in the greatness of his strength?

“It is I, speaking in righteousness,

mighty to save.”

2  Why is your apparel red,

and your garments like his who treads in the ^ewinepress?

3  “I have trodden the winepress alone,

and 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  For the ^fday of vengeance was in my heart,

and my year of redemption² had come.

5  I looked, but ^gthere 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;

I made them drunk in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
