Direction to the ministers of vengeance to execute God's wrath, as the enemy's wickedness is come to its full maturity. God does not cut off the wicked at once, but waits till their guilt is at its full (so as to the Amorites iniquity, Gen 15:16), to show forth His own long-suffering, and the justice of their doom who have so long abused it (Mat 13:27-30, Mat 13:38, Mat 13:40; Rev 14:15-19). For the image of a harvest to be threshed, compare Jer 51:33; and a wine-press, Isa 63:3 and Lam 1:15.
