“These then are the seven angels taken from one of the four living creatures, before whom there is much said, the wrath of God in seven golden bowls. Golden is well said; for the wrath of God is honorable too, bearing good and advantage in itself rather than justice, even if those punished are made to faint.”
Oecumenius, 6th c. — Commentary on Revelation
Original
7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
