Puśćcie sierpy, abowiem żniwo doźrzewa, pódźcie a przyjdźcie, abowiem prasa pełna jest, a stępy opływają, gdyż złość ich rozmnożyła się.
Zapuśćciesz sierp, bo się dostało żniwo; pójdźcie, zstąpcie, bo pełna jest prasa; opływają kadzi, bo wiele jest złości ich.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe,.... This is said to the mighty ones sent, the Christian princes, the executioners of God's vengeance on antichrist; the angels that will pour out the vials of his wrath on the antichristian states, compared to reapers, with a sharp sickle in their hands, to cut them down, as grain is cut when reaped; as the same states are compared to a harvest ripe, the measure of their sins being filled up, and the time of their destruction appointed for them come; see Revelation 14:15;
come, get ye down; to the valley: or "go tread ye" o; for another simile is made use of: the reference here is to the treading of clusters of grapes in the winepress, as appears by what follows: and so the Targum renders it,
"descend, tread their mighty men;''
in like manner Jarchi interprets it; and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it: and Dr. Pocock observes, that the word
in the Arabic language signifies to tread, as men tread grapes in a press: the reasons follow,
for the press is full; of clusters of the vine; or the valley is full of wicked men, compared unto them, destined to destruction:
the fats overflow; with the juice of grapes squeezed out, denoting the great effusion of blood that will be made; see
Revelation 14:18;
for their wickedness [is] great; is come to its height, reaches even to heaven, and calls aloud for vengeance; an end is come to it, and to the authors of it, Revelation 18:5. The Targum of the whole is,
"draw out the sword against them, for the time of their end is come; descend, tread their mighty men slain, as anything is trodden in a winepress; pour out their blood, for their wickedness is multiplied.''
o ר×× ÏαÏειÏε, "calcate", Sept. so Syr. Ar.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe - So Jesus saith, âlet both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them;â and this He explains, âThe harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the Angelsâ Matthew 13:30, Matthew 13:39. He then who saith, âput ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe,â is the Son of Man, who, before He became the Son of Man, was, as He is now, the Son of God, and spake this and the other things by the Prohets; they to whom He speaketh are His reapers, the Angels; and the ripeness of the harvest is the maturity of all things here, good and evil, to be brought to their last end.
In itself, the harvest, as well as the vintage, might describe the end of this world, as to both the good and the bad, in that the wheat is severed from the chaff and the tares, and the treading of the winepress separates the wine which is stored up from the husks which are cast away. Yet nothing is said, here of storing up aught, either the wheat or the wine, but only of the ripeness of the harvest, and that âthe fats overflow, because their wickedness is great.â The harvest is sometimes, although more rarely, used of destruction Isaiah 17:5; Jeremiah 51:33; the treading of the winepress is always used as an image of Godâs anger Lamentations 1:15; Isaiah 63:3; Revelation 19:15; the vintage of destruction Isaiah 17:6; Judges 8:2; Micah 7:1; the plucking off the grapes, of the rending away of single lives or souls Psalms 80:12. It seems probable then, that the ripeness of the harvests and the fullness of the vats are alike used of the ripeness for destruction, that âthey were ripe in their sins, fit for a harvest, and as full of wickedness as ripe grapes, which fill and overflow the vats, through the abundance of the juice with which they swell.â Their ripeness in iniquity calls, as it were, for the sickle of the reaper, the trampling of the presser.
For great is their wickedness - The whole world is flooded and overflowed by it, so that it can no longer contain it, but, as it were, cries to God to end it. The long suffering of God no longer availed, but would rather increase their wickedness and their damnation. So also, in that first Judgment of the whole world by water, when âall flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth, God said, the end of all flesh is before Meâ Genesis 6:12-13; and when the hundred and twenty years of the preaching of Noah were ended without fruit, âthe flood came.â So Sodom was âthenâ destroyed, when not ten righteous could be found in it; and the seven nations of Canaan were spared above four hundred years, because the âiniquity of the Amorites was not yet fullâ Genesis 15:16; and our Lord says, âfill ye up the measure of your fathers - that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earthâ Matthew 23:32, Matthew 23:35. So , âGod condemneth each of the damned, when he hath filled up the measure of his iniquity.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 13. Put ye in the sickle — The destruction of his enemies is represented here under the metaphor of reaping down the harvest; and of gathering the grapes, and treading them in the wine-presses.
