Context of Isaiah 63:4
2Why are your clothes red and your garments like those who trample grapes in a winepress? 3“I have trampled alone in the winepress. No one was with me. In my anger I trampled on people. In my wrath I stomped on them. Their blood splattered my clothes so all my clothing has been stained. I planned the day of vengeance. The year for my reclaiming ⌞you⌟ has come. 5I looked, but there was no help. I was astounded that there was no ⌞outside⌟ support. So with my own power I won a victory. My anger supported me. 6In my anger I trampled on people. In my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.”
