Context of Isaiah 63:4
2Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress? 3“I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing. It was for me the day of vengeance; the year for me to redeem had come. 5I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm achieved salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me. 6I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.”
