Isaiah 63:4

Judgment

2 Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?

3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.

For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.

5 I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.

6 I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
