Jeremiah 25
1. Jeremiah, reproving the Jews' disobedience to the prophets,
8. foretells the seventy years' captivity;
12. and after that, the destruction of Babylon.
15. Under the type of a cup of wine he foreshows the destruction of all nations.
34. The howling of the shepherds.














I will bring upon that land
This phrase signifies God's active role in fulfilling His prophetic declarations. The Hebrew root for "bring" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which conveys the idea of coming or causing to come. It emphasizes God's sovereignty and His ability to execute judgment. Historically, this reflects the impending Babylonian invasion, a divine instrument of judgment upon Judah for their persistent disobedience.

all the words I have spoken against it
Here, "all the words" underscores the completeness and certainty of God's pronouncements. The Hebrew term "דָּבָר" (dabar) for "words" often implies not just spoken words but also decrees or commands. This highlights the authority and power inherent in God's declarations. The phrase reassures believers of the reliability of God's word, as every prophecy will be fulfilled.

all that is written in this book
This refers to the recorded prophecies and warnings found in the book of Jeremiah. The Hebrew word for "written" is "כָּתַב" (kathab), indicating a formal recording. This emphasizes the importance of Scripture as a written testament of God's will and serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's word, preserved for future generations.

and prophesied by Jeremiah
The role of Jeremiah as a prophet is highlighted here. The Hebrew root "נָבָא" (naba) for "prophesied" means to speak or sing by inspiration. Jeremiah's prophecies were not his own but were divinely inspired messages. This underscores the concept of prophetic authority and the responsibility of God's messengers to faithfully deliver His word.

against all the nations
This phrase expands the scope of the prophecy beyond Judah to include all nations. The Hebrew word "גּוֹי" (goy) for "nations" often refers to Gentile nations. This reflects the universal aspect of God's judgment and sovereignty over all peoples, not just Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority over the entire world and His plan for all nations.

(13) Which Jeremiah hath prophesied . . .--Here again we have the trace of an interpolation. In the LXX. the words appear detached, as a title, and are followed by Jeremiah 49:35-39, and the other prophecies against the nations which the Hebrew text places at the end of the book (Jeremiah 46-51). The words "all that is written in this book" are manifestly the addition of a scribe. (See Introduction,)

Verse 13. - And I will bring, etc. Clearly this verse cannot have formed part of the original prophecy, but must have been added whenever the collection of prophecies against foreign nations finally assumed its present form (see introduction on Jeremiah 50, 51.). It should be mentioned that the Septuagint separates the last clause of the verse, "that which Jeremiah prophesied," etc., and makes it the heading of the group of prophecies against the nations, which in the Hebrew Bible stand at the end of Jeremiah's prophecies, but which, beginning with "Elam," the Alexandrian Version inserts at this point.
