Context of Isaiah 63:4

2Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like one who treads in the wine press? 3“I have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no one with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My clothes. For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come. 5I looked, but there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me. 6I trampled down the peoples in My anger And made them drunk with My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
