Exegesis
The infinitive doûnai autḗ tó potḗrion {δοῦναι αὐτῇ τὸ ποτήριον | doûnai autḗ tó potḗrion} expresses purpose ‘to give her the cup,’ followed by a nested genitive chain toû oínou toû thymôu tês orgḗs autoû {τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ | toû oínou toû thymôu tês orgḗs autoû} ‘of the wine of the wrath of anger,’ intensifying the metaphor of divine retribution.
In context — Revelation 16:19
And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and Babylon the great was remembered before God , to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath .
