I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 63 of Isaiah. The figure coming from Edom appears with garments stained with blood and announces the day of vengeance. The language of treading the winepress communicates judgment carried out directly by God when no one else intervenes. The scene recalls that the salvation of God’s people also includes divine confrontation with their oppressors.

"Ich trete die Kelter allein, und ist niemand unter den Völkern mit mir. Ich habe sie gekeltert in meinem Zorn und zertreten in meinem Grimm. Daher ist ihr Blut auf meine Kleider gespritzt, und ich habe all mein Gewand besudelt.
Pisado he yo solo el lagar, y de los pueblos nadie fue conmigo: piselos con mi ira, y hollelos con mi furor; y su sangre salpicó mis vestidos, y ensucié todas mis ropas.
«He pisado el lagar yo solo; de los pueblos no había nadie conmigo. Los pisé en mi ira y los aplasté en mi furor; su sangre salpicó mis vestidos y manché todas mis ropas.
J'ai été seul à fouler au pressoir, Et nul homme d'entre les peuples n'était avec moi; Je les ai foulés dans ma colère, Je les ai écrasés dans ma fureur; Leur sang a jailli sur mes vêtements, Et j'ai souillé tous mes habits.
Io ho calcato il tino tutto solo, e niuno d’infra i popoli è stato meco; ed io li ho calcati nel mio cruccio, e li ho calpestati nella mia ira; ed è sprizzato del lor sangue sopra i miei vestimenti, ed io ho bruttati tutti i miei abiti.
Eu sozinho pisei no lagar, e dos povos ninguém houve comigo; e os pisei na minha ira, e os esmaguei no meu furor; e o seu sangue salpicou as minhas vestes, e manchei toda a minha vestidura.
我獨自踹醡酒池, 萬民中並無一人與我同在。 我發怒,將他們踹下, 發烈怒將他們踐踏。 他們的血濺在我的衣服上, 玷污了我一切的衣裳。
