Barnes' Notes
Which is poured out without mixture. Without being diluted with water; that is, in its full strength. In other words, there would be no mitigation of the punishment.
Into the cup of his indignation. The cup held in his hand and given them to drink. This is expressive of his indignation, as it causes them to reel and fall. The sentiment here is substantially the same, though in another form, as that which is expressed in 2Thes 2:12. 2Thes 2:12.
And he shall be tormented. Shall be punished in a manner that would be well represented by being burned with fire and brimstone. On the meaning of this word, Rev 9:5, Rev 11:10. Compare also Rev 18:7,10,15, 20:10, Mt 8:29 Mk 5:7, Lk 8:28. The word commonly denotes severe torture.
With fire and brimstone. As if with burning sulphur. Lk 17:28, seq. Compare Ps 11:6, Job 18:15 Isa 30:33, Eze 38:22. The imagery is taken from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen 19:24. The common representation of the punishment of the wicked is, that it will be in the manner here represented, Mt 5:22, 13:42, 18:9, 25:41, Mk 9:44-48, 2Pet 3:7, Jude 1:7 Rev 20:14. Compare Mt 5:22; Mk 9:44.
In the presence of the holy angels. This may mean either
(a) that the angels will be present at their condemnation, (Mt 25:31,) or
(b) that the punishment will be actually witnessed by the angels-- as it is most probable it will be. Compare Isa 66:24, Lk 16:23-26.
And in the presence of the Lamb. The Lamb of God--the final Judge. This also may mean either that the condemnation will occur in his presence, or that the punishment will be under his eye. Both of these things will be true in regard to him; and it will be no small aggravation of the punishment of the wicked that it will occur in the very presence of their slighted and rejected Saviour.
(a) "drink of the wine" Ps 75:8 (b) "fire and brimstone" Rev 19:20

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Revelation 14:6-13
The progress of the Reformation appears to be here set forth. The four proclamations are plain in their meaning; that all Christians may be encouraged, in the time of trial, to be faithful to their Lord. The gospel is the great means whereby men are brought to fear God, and to give glory to him. The preaching of the everlasting gospel shakes the foundations of antichrist in the world, and hastens its downfal. If any…
