Jeremiah 25:30-33

Seventy Years for Babylon and the Cup of the LORD's Wrath

The chapter moves from Jeremiah's retrospective indictment of Judah's refusal to listen, to the seventy-year Babylonian judgment, to Babylon's later punishment, and finally to the cup of wrath poured out on Judah and all nations.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

30 So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’” declares the LORD.

32 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”

33 Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
