OT-POET.filter - rwp plagues:

rwp@Luke:7:21 @{In that hour he cured} (\en ekeini ti hori etherapeusen\). This item is not in Matthew. Jesus gave the two disciples of John an example of the direct method. They had heard. Then they saw for themselves. {Diseases} (\nosn\), {plagues} (\mastign\), {evil spirits} (\pneumatn ponrn\), all kinds of bodily ills, and he singles out the {blind} (\tuphlois\) to whom in particular he bestowed sight (\echarizato blepein\), gave as a free gift (from \charis\, grace) seeing (\blepein\).

rwp@Revelation:16:9 @{Were scorched} (\ekaumatisthsan\). First aorist passive indicative of same verb. {With great heat} (\kauma mega\). Cognate accusative retained with the passive verb. Old word (from \kai\ to burn), in N.T. only strkjv@7:16| and here. For blaspheming the name of God see strkjv@13:6; strkjv@James:2:7; strkjv@Romans:2:24; strkjv@1Timothy:6:1|. They blamed God for the plagues. {They repented not} (\ou metenosan\). This solemn negative aorist of \metanoe\ is a refrain like a funeral dirge (9:20f.; strkjv@16:11|). In strkjv@11:13| some did repent because of the earthquake. Even deserved punishment may harden the heart. {To give him glory} (\dounai auti doxan\). Second aorist active infinitive of \didmi\, almost result. For the phrase see strkjv@11:13; strkjv@14:7; strkjv@19:7|.

rwp@Revelation:16:10 @{Upon the throne of the beast} (\epi ton thronon tou thriou\). That is Rome (13:2|). The dragon gave the beast his throne (2:13|). {Was darkened} (\egeneto eskotmen\). Periphrastic past perfect passive with \ginomai\ and \skoto\ (9:2|). Like the darkness of the Egyptian plague (Exodus:10:22|) and worse, for the effects of the previous plagues continue. {They gnawed their tongues} (\emasnto tas glssas autn\). Imperfect middle of \masaomai\, old verb (to chew), from \ma\ (to knead), only here in N.T. {For pain} (\ek tou ponou\). "Out of distress" (cf. \ek\ in strkjv@8:13|), rare sense of old word (from \penomai\ to work for one's living), in N.T. only here, strkjv@21:4; strkjv@Colossians:4:13|. See strkjv@Matthew:8:12|.

rwp@Revelation:16:17 @{Upon the air} (\epi ton aera\). All men breathe the air and this is worse than the smiting of the earth (verse 2|), the sea (3|), the fresh waters (4|), the sun (8|). {A great voice} (\phn megal\). The voice of God as in strkjv@16:1|. {It is done} (\Gegonen\). Perfect active indicative of \ginomai\. Like \Gegonan\ in strkjv@21:6|. The whole series of plagues is now complete.
