Isaiah 63:5-6

5 I looked, but there was no one to help;
I was shocked because there was no one offering support. ^{▼▼ See Isa 59:16 for similar language.}
So my right arm accomplished deliverance;
my raging anger drove me on. ^{▼▼ Heb “and my anger, it supported me”; NIV “my own wrath sustained me.”}
6 I trampled nations in my anger,
I made them drunk ^{▼▼ See Isa 49:26 and 51:23 for similar imagery.} in my rage,
I splashed their blood on the ground.” ^{▼▼ Heb “and I brought down to the ground their juice.” “Juice” refers to their blood (see v. 3).}
