⁶ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem^(A)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.^(B)
7 Gilead^(C) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim^(D) is my helmet,
    Judah^(E) is my scepter.^(F)
8 Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.^(G)”

⁹ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?

⁶ the tents of Edom^(A) and the Ishmaelites,
    of Moab^(B) and the Hagrites,^(C)
7 Byblos,^(D) Ammon^(E) and Amalek,^(F)
    Philistia,^(G) with the people of Tyre.^(H)

⁵ My sword^(A) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,^(B)
    the people I have totally destroyed.^(C)
6 The sword^(D) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice^(E) in Bozrah^(F)
    and a great slaughter^(G) in the land of Edom.
⁷ And the wild oxen^(H) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.^(I)
Their land will be drenched with blood,^(J)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.

⁸ For the Lord has a day^(K) of vengeance,^(L)
    a year of retribution,^(M) to uphold Zion’s cause.

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(E)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(F)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(I)
their blood spattered my garments,^(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(L) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(M) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(N)
6 I trampled^(O) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(P)
    and poured their blood^(Q) on the ground.”
