This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The same - Greek, “he also,” as the just and inevitable retribution.
wine of ... wrath of God - (Psa 75:8).
without mixture - whereas wine was so commonly mixed with water that to mix wine is used in Greek for to pour out wine; this wine of God’s wrath is undiluted; there is no drop of water to cool its heat. Naught of grace or hope is blended with it. This terrible threat may well raise us above the fear of man’s threats. This unmixed cup is already mingled and prepared for Satan and the beast’s followers.
indignation - Greek, “orges,” “abiding wrath,” But the Greek for “wrath” above (Greek, “thumou”) is boiling indignation, from (Greek, “thuo”) a root meaning “to boil”; this is temporary ebullition of anger; that is lasting [Ammonius], and accompanied with a purpose of vengeance [Origen on Psa 2:5].
tormented ... in the presence of ... angels - (Psa 49:14; Psa 58:10; Psa 139:21; Isa 66:24). God’s enemies are regarded by the saints as their enemies, and when the day of probation is past, their mind shall be so entirely one with God’s, that they shall rejoice in witnessing visibly the judicial vindication of God’s righteousness in sinners’ punishment.
