Jeremiah 25:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 25:26

24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the ^amixed multitude who dwell in the desert;

25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^aElam, and all the kings of the ^bMedes;

26 ^aall the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of¹ Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 “Therefore you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^a“Drink, ^bbe drunk, and vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.” ’

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “You shall certainly drink!

29 For behold, ^aI begin to bring calamity on the city ^bwhich is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for ^cI will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” says the Lord of hosts.’

30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them:
‘The Lord will ^aroar from on high,
And utter His voice from ^bHis holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against ^cHis fold.
He will give ^da shout, as those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth—
For the Lord has ^aa controversy with the nations;
^bHe will plead His case with all flesh.
He will give those who are wicked to the sword,’ says the Lord.”
