⁶ therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

² Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

³ I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

⁵ And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

⁶ And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.

¹⁶ Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay `them'.

¹⁷ Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁵ For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.

² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:

⁶ for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.

⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

⁶ Render unto her even as she rendered, and double `unto her' the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double.

² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

³ And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.
