21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
21 There wasn't a sign of a change of heart. They plunged right on in their murderous, occult, promiscuous, and thieving ways.
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Revelation 9:21
Commentary on Revelation 9:13-21
(Read Revelation 9:13-21)
The sixth angel sounded, and here the power of the Turks seems the subject. Their time is limited. They not only slew in war, but brought a poisonous and ruinous religion. The antichristian generation repented not under these dreadful judgments. From this sixth trumpet learn that God can make one enemy of the church a scourge and a plague to another. The idolatry in the remains of the eastern church and elsewhere, and the sins of professed Christians, render this prophecy and its fulfilment more wonderful. And the attentive reader of Scripture and history, may find his faith and hope strengthened by events, which in other respects fill his heart with anguish and his eyes with tears, while he sees that men who escape these plagues, repent not of their evil works, but go on with idolatries, wickedness, and cruelty, till wrath comes upon them to the utmost.
