² `Wherefore `is' thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'

³ -- `A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

⁴ For the day of vengeance `is' in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.

⁵ And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath -- it hath supported me.

⁶ because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;'

⁷ and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous `are' Thy judgments.'

⁶ Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.

² because true and righteous `are' His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;'

³ and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up -- to the ages of the ages!
