Revelation 16:9

_ _ menGreek,the men.”

_ _ repented not to give him glory — (Revelation 9:20). Affliction, if it does not melt, hardens the sinner. Compare the better result on others, Revelation 11:13; Revelation 14:7; Revelation 15:4.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 16:8-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 16:9

And the men blasphemed God, who had power over these plagues — They could not but acknowledge the hand of God, yet did they harden themselves against him.
