Context of Isaiah 63:4

2Why are your clothes red? Why do you look like someone who has stomped on grapes in a vat? 3“I have stomped grapes in the winepress all by myself; no one from the nations joined me. I stomped on them in my anger; I trampled them down in my rage. Their juice splashed on my garments, and stained all my clothes. For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and then payback time arrived. 5I looked, but there was no one to help; I was shocked because there was no one offering support. So my right arm accomplished deliverance; my raging anger drove me on. 6I trampled nations in my anger, I made them drunk in my rage, I splashed their blood on the ground.”
