Yesaya 63:1

The Victorious Divine Warrior

63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom, ⁵ 

dressed in bright red, coming from Bozrah? ⁶ 

Who ⁷  is this one wearing royal attire, ⁸ 

who marches confidently ⁹  because of his great strength?

“It is I, the one who announces vindication,

and who is able to deliver!” ¹⁰
