A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]

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.

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God - See notes on Rev 14:8. The "wine of the wrath of God" is the cup in the hand of the Lord, which, when drunk, makes them reel and fall. The image would seem to have been taken from the act of holding out a cup of poison to a condemned man that he might drink and die. See the sentiment here expressed illustrated in the notes on Isa 51:17. Which is poured out without mixture - Without being diluted with water - that is, in its full strength. In other words, there would be no mitigation of the punishment. Into the cup of his indignation - The cup held in his hand, and given them to drink. This is expressive of his indignation, as it causes them to reel and fall. The sentiment here is substantially the same, though in another form, as what is expressed in Th2 2:12. See the notes on that verse. And he shall be tormented - Shall be punished in a manner that would be well represented by being burned with fire and brimstone. On the meaning of this word see the notes on Rev 9:5; Rev 11:10. Compare also Rev 18:7, Rev 18:10, Rev 18:15; Rev 20:10; Mat 8:29; Mar 5:7; Luk 8:28. The word commonly denotes "severe torture." With fire and brimstone - As if with burning sulphur. See the notes on Luk 17:28-30. Compare Psa 11:6; Job 18:15; Isa 30:33; Eze 38:22. The imagery is taken from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen 19:24. The common representation of the punishment of the wicked is, that it will be in the manner here represented, Mat 5:22; Mat 13:42; Mat 18:9; Mat 25:41; Mar 9:44-48; Pe2 3:7; Jde 1:7; Rev 20:14. Compare the Mat 5:22 note; Mar 9:44 note. In the presence of the holy angels - This may mean either: (a) that the angels will be present at their condemnation Mat 25:31, or. (b) that the punishment will be actually witnessed by the angels, as it is most probable it will be. Compare Isa 66:24; Luk 16:23-26. And in the presence of the Lamb - The Lamb of God - the final Judge. This also may mean either that the condemnation will occur in his presence, or that the punishment will be under his eye. Both of these things will be true in regard to him; and it will be no small aggravation of the punishment of the wicked, that it will occur in the very presence of their slighted and rejected Saviour.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
angels (See Scofield) - (Heb 1:4).

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
Poured out without mixture (κεκερασμένου ἀκράτου) Lit., which is mingled unmixed. From the universal custom of mixing wine with water for drinking, the word mingle came to be used in the general sense of prepare by putting into the cup. Hence, to pour out. Cup of His anger Compare Psa 75:8. Brimstone (θείῳ) Commonly taken as the neuter of θεῖος divine; that is, divine incense, since burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify and to avert contagion. By others it is referred to θύω to burn, and hence to sacrifice.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
He shall drink - With Babylon, Rev 16:19. And shall be tormented - With the beast, Rev 20:10. In all the scripture there is not another so terrible threatening as this. And God by this greater fear arms his servants against the fear of the beast. The wrath of God, which is poured unmixed - Without any mixture of mercy; without hope. Into the cup of his indignation - And is no real anger implied in all this? O what will not even wise men assert, to serve an hypothesis!

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
The wine of the wrath of God - As they have drunk the intoxicating wine of idolatry or spiritual fornication, they shall now drink the wine of God's wrath, which is poured out into the cup of his indignation. This is an allusion to the poisoned cup, which certain criminals were obliged to drink, on which ensued speedy death. See on Heb 2:9 (note). Shall be tormented with fire and brimstone - An allusion to the punishment of Sodom and Gomorrha for their unnatural crimes. Presence of the holy angels, and - of the Lamb - These being the instruments employed in their destruction; the Lamb - the Lord Jesus Christ, acting as judge.

²⁴ And they shall go forth [03318], and look [07200] upon the carcases [06297] of the men [0582] that have transgressed [06586] against me: for their worm [08438] shall not die [04191], neither shall their fire [0784] be quenched [03518]; and they shall be an abhorring [01860] unto all flesh [01320].

²¹ Do not I hate [08130] them, O LORD [03068], that hate [08130] thee? and am not I grieved [06962] with those that rise up [08618] against thee?

¹⁰ The righteous [06662] shall rejoice [08055] when he seeth [02372] the vengeance [05359]: he shall wash [07364] his feet [06471] in the blood [01818] of the wicked [07563].

¹⁴ Like sheep [06629] they are laid [08371] in the grave [07585]; death [04194] shall feed [07462] on them; and the upright [03477] shall have dominion [07287] over them in the morning [01242]; and their beauty [06697] [06736] shall consume [01086] in the grave [07585] from their dwelling [02073].

⁵ Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740].

⁸ For in the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] there is a cup [03563], and the wine [03196] is red [02560]; it is full [04392] of mixture [04538]; and he poureth out [05064] of the same [02088]: but the dregs [08105] thereof, all the wicked [07563] of the earth [0776] shall wring them out [04680], and drink [08354] them.

²³ And [2532] in [1722] hell [86] he lift up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788], being [5225] in [1722] torments [931], and seeth [3708] Abraham [11] afar [3113] off [575], and [2532] Lazarus [2976] in [1722] his [846] bosom [2859].
²⁴ And [2532] [846] he cried [5455] and said [2036], Father [3962] Abraham [11], have mercy [1653] on me [3165], and [2532] send [3992] Lazarus [2976], that [2443] he may dip [911] the tip [206] of his [846] finger [1147] in water [5204], and [2532] cool [2711] my [3450] tongue [1100]; for [3754] I am tormented [3600] in [1722] this [5026] flame [5395].
²⁵ But [1161] Abraham [11] said [2036], Son [5043], remember [3415] that [3754] thou [4771] in [1722] thy [4675] lifetime [2222] receivedst [618] thy [4675] good things [18], and [2532] likewise [3668] Lazarus [2976] evil things [2556]: but [1161] now [3568] [3592] he is comforted [3870], and [1161] thou [4771] art tormented [3600].
²⁶ And [2532] beside [1909] all [3956] this [5125], between [3342] us [2257] and [2532] you [5216] there is [4741] a great [3173] gulf [5490] fixed [4741]: so that [3704] they which would [2309] pass [1224] from hence [1782] to [4314] you [5209] cannot [3361] [1410]; neither [3366] can they pass [1276] to [4314] us [2248], that would come from thence [1564].

³¹ When [1161] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall come [2064] in [1722] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] all [3956] the holy [40] angels [32] with [3326] him [846], then [5119] shall he sit [2523] upon [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391]:

⁴⁴ Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].

²² But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3956] is angry [3710] with his [846] brother [80] without a cause [1500] shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the judgment [2920]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] to his [846] brother [80], Raca [4469], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the council [4892]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036], Thou fool [3474], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442].

¹⁴ And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288].

⁷ Even as [5613] Sodom [4670] and [2532] Gomorrha [1116], and [2532] the cities [4172] about [4012] them [846] in like [3664] [5125] manner [5158], giving themselves over to fornication [1608], and [2532] going [565] after [3694] strange [2087] flesh [4561], are set forth for [4295] an example [1164], suffering [5254] the vengeance [1349] of eternal [166] fire [4442].

⁷ But [1161] the heavens [3772] and [2532] the earth [1093], which are now [3568], by the same [846] word [3056] are [1526] kept in store [2343], reserved [5083] unto fire [4442] against [1519] the day [2250] of judgment [2920] and [2532] perdition [684] of ungodly [765] men [444].

⁴⁴ Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].
⁴⁵ And [2532] if [1437] thy [4675] foot [4228] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [609] it [846] off [609]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] halt [5560] into [1519] life [2222], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] feet [4228] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067], into [1519] the fire [4442] that never shall be quenched [762]:
⁴⁶ Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].
⁴⁷ And [2532] if [1437] thine [4675] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1544] it [846] out [1544]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] with one eye [3442], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] eyes [3788] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442]:
⁴⁸ Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].

⁴¹ Then [5119] shall he say [2046] also [2532] unto them on [1537] the left hand [2176], Depart [4198] from [575] me [1700], ye cursed [2672], into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442], prepared [2090] for the devil [1228] and [2532] his [846] angels [32]:

⁹ And [2532] if [1487] thine [4675] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1807] it [846] out [1807], and [2532] cast [906] it from [575] thee [4675]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] life [2222] with one eye [3442], rather than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] eyes [3788] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442].

⁴² And [2532] shall cast [906] them [846] into [1519] a furnace [2575] of fire [4442]: there [1563] shall be [2071] wailing [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599].

²⁴ Then the LORD [03068] rained [04305] upon Sodom [05467] and upon Gomorrah [06017] brimstone [01614] and fire [0784] from the LORD [03068] out of heaven [08064];

²² And I will plead [08199] against him with pestilence [01698] and with blood [01818]; and I will rain [04305] upon him, and upon his bands [0102], and upon the many [07227] people [05971] that are with him, an overflowing [07857] rain [01653], and great hailstones [0417] [068], fire [0784], and brimstone [01614].

³³ For Tophet [08613] is ordained [06186] of old [0865]; yea, for the king [04428] it is prepared [03559]; he hath made it deep [06009] and large [07337]: the pile [04071] thereof is fire [0784] and much [07235] wood [06086]; the breath [05397] of the LORD [03068], like a stream [05158] of brimstone [01614], doth kindle [01197] it.

¹⁵ It shall dwell [07931] in his tabernacle [0168], because it is none [01097] of his: brimstone [01614] shall be scattered [02219] upon his habitation [05116].

⁶ Upon the wicked [07563] he shall rain [04305] snares [06341], fire [0784] and brimstone [01614], and an horrible [02152] tempest [07307]: this shall be the portion [04521] of their cup [03563].

²⁸ Likewise [3668] also [2532] as [5613] it was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Lot [3091]; they did eat [2068], they drank [4095], they bought [59], they sold [4453], they planted [5452], they builded [3618];
²⁹ But [3739] [1161] the same day [2250] that Lot [3091] went [1831] out of [575] Sodom [4670] it rained [1026] fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] destroyed [622] them all [537].
³⁰ Even [2596] thus [5024] shall it be [2071] in the day [3739] [2250] when the Son [5207] of man [444] is revealed [601].

²⁸ When [1161] he saw [1492] Jesus [2424], he cried out [349], and [2532] fell down before [4363] him [846], and [2532] with a loud [3173] voice [5456] said [2036], What [5101] have I [1698] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316] most high [5310]? I beseech [1189] thee [4675], torment [928] me [3165] not [3361].

⁷ And [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and said [2036], What [5101] have I [1698] to do [2532] with thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of the most high [5310] God [2316]? I adjure [3726] thee [4571] by God [2316], that thou torment [928] me [3165] not [3361].

²⁹ And [2532], behold [2400], they cried out [2896], saying [3004], What [5101] have we [2254] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316]? art thou come [2064] hither [5602] to torment [928] us [2248] before [4253] the time [2540]?

¹⁰ And [2532] the devil [1228] that deceived [4105] them [846] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303], where [3699] the beast [2342] and [2532] the false prophet [5578] are, and [2532] shall be tormented [928] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].

¹⁵ The merchants [1713] of these things [5130], which [3588] were made rich [4147] by [575] her [846], shall stand [2476] afar [3113] off [575] for [1223] the fear [5401] of her [846] torment [929], weeping [2799] and [2532] wailing [3996],

¹⁰ Standing [2476] afar [3113] off [575] for [1223] the fear [5401] of her [846] torment [929], saying [3004], Alas [3759], alas [3759], that great [3173] city [4172] Babylon [897], that mighty [2478] city [4172]! for [3754] in [1722] one [3391] hour [5610] is [2064] thy [4675] judgment [2920] come [2064].

⁷ How much [3745] she hath glorified [1392] herself [1438], and [2532] lived deliciously [4763], so much [5118] torment [929] and [2532] sorrow [3997] give [1325] her [846]: for [3754] she saith [3004] in [1722] her [846] heart [2588], I sit [2521] a queen [938], and [2532] am [1510] no [3756] widow [5503], and [2532] shall see [1492] no [3364] sorrow [3997].

¹⁰ And [2532] they that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093] shall rejoice [5463] over [1909] them [846], and [2532] make merry [2165], and [2532] shall send [3992] gifts [1435] one to another [240]; because [3754] these [3778] two [1417] prophets [4396] tormented [928] them that dwelt [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093].

⁵ And [2532] to them [846] it was given [1325] that [3363] they should [615] not [3363] kill [615] them [846], but [235] that [2443] they should be tormented [928] five [4002] months [3376]: and [2532] their [846] torment [929] was as [5613] the torment [929] of a scorpion [4651], when [3752] he striketh [3817] a man [444].

¹² That [2443] they all [3956] might be damned [2919] who [3588] believed [4100] not [3361] the truth [225], but [235] had pleasure [2106] in [1722] unrighteousness [93].

¹⁷ Awake [05782], awake [05782], stand up [06965], O Jerusalem [03389], which hast drunk [08354] at the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] the cup [03563] of his fury [02534]; thou hast drunken [08354] the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], and wrung them out [04680].

⁸ And [2532] there followed [190] another [243] angel [32], saying [3004], Babylon [897] is fallen [4098], is fallen [4098], that great [3173] city [4172], because [3754] she made [4222] all [3956] nations [1484] drink [4222] of [1537] the wine [3631] of the wrath [2372] of her [846] fornication [4202].

⁴ Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].

¹⁹ And [2532] the great [3173] city [4172] was divided [1096] into [1519] three [5140] parts [3313], and [2532] the cities [4172] of the nations [1484] fell [4098]: and [2532] great [3173] Babylon [897] came in remembrance [3415] before [1799] God [2316], to give [1325] unto her [846] the cup [4221] of the wine [3631] of the fierceness [2372] of his [846] wrath [3709].

⁹ But [1161] we see [991] Jesus [2424], who [3588] was made [1642] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32] for [1223] the suffering [3804] of death [2288], crowned [4737] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092]; that [3704] he [1089] by the grace [5485] of God [2316] should taste [1089] death [2288] for [5228] every man [3956].
