Jeremiah 25:30-33
The Lord’s righteous judgment extends over the entire earth and will bring accountability to every nation.
30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “ ‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,” ’ says Yahweh.”
32 Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
33 The slain of Yahweh will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
The LORD’s righteous judgment extends over the entire earth and will bring accountability to every nation.
To proclaim the universal scope of the LORD’s judgment as He roars from heaven against the nations and brings devastation across the earth.
These verses continue Jeremiah’s prophecy of judgment among the nations following the imagery of the cup of wrath. The vision intensifies the portrayal of God’s judgment, presenting the Lord as the cosmic judge whose verdict reaches every nation.
Seventy Years for Babylon and the Cup of the LORD's Wrath
Because Judah refused the LORD's persistent word, the LORD will bring seventy years of Babylonian judgment, yet Babylon too will drink the cup because the LORD judges all nations in righteousness.
