So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?
I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.
And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.

And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And he became their Savior.
