This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev_16:2. The first vial poured forth upon the earth ( εἰς τὴν γῆν , in relation to Rev_16:1, as Rev_8:7 to Rev_8:5) produces a severe ulcer.
ἔλκος κακὸν καὶ πονηρόν . Cf. Exo_9:10 sqq.; Deu_28:35.[3670] The πονηρόν [3671] designates, besides the ΚΑΚῸΝ , which expresses only the evil nature, the virulence, malignity, and affliction of the ulcer.[3672]
ἘΠῚ ΤΟῪς ΑΝΘΡ ., Κ . Τ . Λ ., The accus. after ἘΠΊ results[3673] from the idea that the plague extends to the men.[3674]
Τ . ἜΧ . ΤῸ ΧΆΡΑΓΜΑ , Κ . Τ . Λ . Cf. Rev_13:15 sqq., Rev_14:9 sqq. Of such a pestilence as there was at Rome[3675] in Nero’s time, nothing is said.
[3670] LXX.: ἔλκος πονηρόν . So also Job_2:7.
[3671] Suidas: ἐπιπονον .
