he too will drink
The phrase "he too will drink" signifies a personal and inevitable participation in the consequences of divine judgment. The imagery of drinking is often used in Scripture to denote experiencing something fully, whether it be joy or, as in this case, wrath. The Greek word for "drink" (πίνω, pinō) implies an active reception, indicating that those who align themselves against God will fully partake in the repercussions of their rebellion.

the wine of God’s anger
"Wine" in biblical terms often symbolizes abundance and the outpouring of something, whether it be blessing or judgment. Here, "the wine of God’s anger" represents the full measure of divine wrath. The Greek word for "anger" (θυμός, thymos) conveys a passionate, intense expression of God's righteous indignation against sin. This is not a capricious anger but a holy response to the rejection of God's grace and truth.

poured undiluted
The phrase "poured undiluted" emphasizes the severity and purity of God's judgment. In ancient times, wine was often diluted with water to reduce its potency. The Greek word for "undiluted" (ἀκράτος, akratos) indicates that this judgment is full-strength, unmitigated, and complete. It underscores the seriousness of sin and the absolute justice of God.

into the cup of His wrath
The "cup" is a recurring biblical metaphor for God's judgment. In the Old Testament, the cup often symbolizes the destiny or portion allotted by God, whether for blessing or judgment. The "cup of His wrath" here is a vivid image of the inescapable and predetermined nature of divine retribution. The Greek word for "wrath" (ὀργή, orgē) refers to a settled, determined response to sin, highlighting God's consistent and just character.

And he will be tormented
The word "tormented" (βασανίζω, basanizō) in Greek conveys the idea of severe distress and suffering. This term is used to describe the intense and conscious experience of divine judgment. It reflects the reality of eternal separation from God and the anguish that accompanies such a state. This is not merely punitive but serves as a solemn warning of the consequences of rejecting God's mercy.

in fire and sulfur
"Fire and sulfur" are traditional biblical symbols of divine judgment and purification. Fire represents the consuming and purifying nature of God's holiness, while sulfur (or brimstone) is associated with destruction and desolation. Together, they depict the totality and intensity of the judgment awaiting those who oppose God. This imagery is consistent with other biblical descriptions of hell and eternal punishment.

in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb
The presence of "the holy angels and of the Lamb" during this judgment underscores the righteousness and transparency of God's actions. The "holy angels" serve as witnesses to God's justice, while "the Lamb" (a title for Jesus Christ) highlights the sacrificial love and authority of Christ in executing judgment. This scene affirms the ultimate victory of Christ and the vindication of His holiness and justice. It serves as a reminder of the gravity of rejecting the salvation offered through Jesus.

Verse 10. - The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; he also... which is mingled unmixed (i.e. undiluted) in the cup of his anger (Revised Version). The warning is given to men while there is yet time; the fall of Babylon, which is prophetically spoken of as having taken place (ver. 8), being yet in the future; that is to say, at the end of the world. The language in which the retribution is couched corresponds to that in which the sin is described (see on ver. 8). The verb κεράννυμι, which originally signified "to mix," gradually came to signify "to pour," from the ancient custom of mixing spices, etc., as well as water, with the wine. The Authorized Version "poured out," therefore, is a correct translation. The pouring is in this case not accompanied by dilution with water; that is, God's wrath will not be tempered, but the wicked will feel the full force of his anger. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. The figure which is here used to portray the punishment of the wicked is common in the Bible. Isaiah 34:9, 10, cf. with Genesis 19:28, may supply the origin of the simile. The punishment is in the presence of the angels and of the Lamb; that is, probably, the purity and bliss of heaven is visible to the wicked, and the sight of it, combined with the knowledge of its in- accessibility to themselves, is part of their torment (cf. Luke 16:23). It is part of the wrath of God described in the first part of the verse.
