Isaiah 63

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 63 of 66

1 Who is this who comes from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One adorned in His clothing, bending in His great power? It is I, speaking in righteousness, greatness to save!

2 Who knows why Your clothing is red, and Your garments like one treading in the winepress?

3 I have trodden the winepress, I alone, and no man of the peoples was with Me. And I will tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury; and their juice shall be spattered on My garments; and I will pollute all My clothes.
