Verse 15

And I will execute vengeance in anger, and fury upon the Heathen ,.... Or "nations" F15 את הגוים "gentes", Junius & Tremellius. ; not the Pagan nations only, but the Papal and Mahometan ones, even all that are enemies to Christ, and his church and people:

such as they have not heard ; such terrible judgments, and dreadful expressions of divine wrath and fury, by earthquakes, hailstones, &c.; as were never known or heard of in the world before; see Revelation 16:18 ; or, "which have not heard" F16 אשר לא שמעו "quae non audierunt", Pagninus, Montanus; "quae non auscultaverint", Junius & Tremellius; "quae non obediverunt", Burkius. ; the people that have not heard and hearkened to the word of God, to the voice of Christ in the Gospel, but have turned a deaf ear to it, and despised it. So the Targum,

"who have not received the doctrine of the law;'

but it is much more agreeable to understand it of the doctrine of the Gospel disobeyed by men, and therefore justly punished; see 2 Thessalonians 1:8 .
