Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Isaiah 63:6

And I will tread down the people in Mine anger and make them drunk in My fury, His wrath and rage being considered the weapons with which He had waged war so successfully, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. It is a wonderfully poetical description of the last great Judgment of the Lord, the day of His vengeance. Cf. Isaiah 34:8; Revelation 19, 20.
