Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Treasury of David, Vol. 3 (1872)

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup. The punishment of the wicked is prepared, God himself holds it in readiness; he has collected and concocted woes most dread, and in the chalice of his wrath he holds it. They scoffed his feast of love; they shall be dragged to his table of justice, and made to drink their due deserts. And the wine is red. The retribution is terrible, it is blood for blood, foaming vengeance for foaming malice. The very colour of divine wrath is terrible; what must the taste be?

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

For - God is here compared to the master of a feast, who then used to distribute portions of meat and drink to the several guests. Red - Such as the best wine of Judea was. Mixture - The wine is mingled not with water, but with strengthening and intoxicating ingredients.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The sufferings of Christ are called a cup, Matt. xx. The judgments of God upon sinners are the cup of the Lord's right hand, Hab. ii. The wine is red, denoting the wrath of God, which is infused into the judgments executed on sinners, and is the wormwood and the gall in the affliction and the misery.

1802–1910

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Here the writer speaks in view of God's declaration, warning the wicked. Lift . . . up the horn--to exalt power, here, of the wicked himself--that is, to be arrogant or self-elated.
