The Victorious Divine Warrior

63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom, ⁴ 

dressed in bright red, coming from Bozrah? ⁵ 

Who ⁶  is this one wearing royal attire, ⁷ 

who marches confidently ⁸  because of his great strength?

“It is I, the one who announces vindication,

and who is able to deliver!” ⁹
