⁶ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

² Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?

³ I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

⁴ For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.

⁵ And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.

⁶ And in my passion the peoples were crushed under my feet, and broken in my wrath, and I put down their strength to the earth.

²⁴ And in her was seen the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been put to death on the earth.

¹⁶ Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.

¹⁷ As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

¹⁵ For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.

² For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

⁵ And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time:

⁶ For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.

⁷ And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.

⁶ Give to her as she gave, even an increased reward for her works; in the cup which was mixed by her, let there be mixed as much again for herself.

² For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

³ And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever.
