Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Whose judgment was not, etc.; rather, to whom it was not due, etc. Jehovah condescends to speak from a human point of view. 'So, in Isaiah 28:21, the punishment of Jerusalem is celled his "strange work." Have assuredly drunken; rather, shall surely drink.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Behold, they whose judgment . . .--The imagery is taken up from Jeremiah 25:15. Even those of whom it might have seemed that they were exempted, by God's decree, from drinking of the cup of His wrath, had drunk. Could Esau hope for immunity? The thought is parallel to that of 1Peter 4:17.
