Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. It is full of mixture ] Alluding to that mingled potion of stupefying drugs given to criminals to drink previously to their execution. See a parallel passage to this, Jer. xxv. 15-26.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-10 - No second causes will raise men to preferment without the First Cause It comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south He mentions not the north; the same word that signifies the north signifies the secret place; and from the secret of God's counsel it does come. From God alone all must receive their doom. There ar mixtures of mercy and grace in the cup of affliction, when it is pu into the hands of God's people; mixtures of the curse, when it is pu into the hands of the wicked. God's people have their share in commo calamities, but the dregs of the cup are for the wicked. The exaltatio of the Son of David will be the subject of the saints' everlastin praises. Then let sinners submit to the King of righteousness, and le believers rejoice in and obey him _________________________________________________
