1. `Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' --`I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.'
2. `Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'
3. --`A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.
4. For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.
5. And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath--it hath supported me.
6. And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.
7. The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And accordingto the abundance of His kind acts.
8. And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons--they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour.
