Isaiah 63 — Context

Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?

I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.
