Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 25:1-38

9. NINTH DISCOURSE(Chap. 25)With Three Historical Appendices ( chaps. 26–29)The superscription, Jeremiah 25:1, to which a similar one follows first in Jeremiah 30:1, shows that the compiler of the book regarded chh. 25–29 as a connected group. The motive of this arrangement may be recognized. First, the connection of Jeremiah 27:0 with Jeremiah 25:0. is perfectly clear, the figurative discourse of the cup of wrath, which Jeremiah is to offer the heathen nations (Jeremiah 25:15 sqq.), having a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Still speaking to Zedekiah, Jeremiah reminded him of the word which came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim. It was a message announcing the judgment of God against Judah, Babylon, the nations, the world. With regard to Judah, the reason for the judgment was her persistent sin. Notwithstanding that Jehovah had spoken constantly and called them to return to obedience, they had not hearkened. The judgment foretold was the conquest of Judah by Babylon, and her captivity for seventy years. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

SECTION 1. An Overall Description Of Jeremiah’s Teaching Given In A Series Of Accumulated, Mainly Undated, Prophecies, Concluding With Jeremiah’s Own Summary Of His Ministry (Jeremiah 2:4 to Jeremiah 25:38 ). From this point onwards up to chapter 25 we have a new major section (a section in which MT and LXX are mainly similar) which records the overall teaching of Jeremiah, probably given mainly during the reigns of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6) and Jehoiakim, although leading up to the days of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:30-38

YHWH Will Roar From Heaven And The Earth Will Face Its Judgment (Jeremiah 25:30-38 ). What is coming on the world is pictured in terms of ‘universal’ catastrophe, as so often in the prophets. The idea is that the world will be turned upside down. But the nations described, and the context of the prophecy, make clear that this is not intended as eschatological but as practical. It was the world of Jeremiah’s own day that was to be affected. On the other hand it can also be seen as a reminder... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Jeremiah 25. The Supremacy of Babylon over Judah and the Nations. Jeremiah 25:1-1 Kings : . In the year 604 (after the Babylonian victory over Egypt at Carchemish, 605 B.C., cf. Jeremiah 46:2), Jeremiah publicly reviews his ministry (since 626; cf. Jeremiah 1:2) . which has failed to produce repentance ( Jeremiah 25:1-Judges :). As a result, Yahweh will bring the victorious Babylonians against both Judah and the surrounding peoples to lay them waste, and the supremacy of Babylon shall last... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:30

Reveal my will unto them presently, to revenge myself upon them, in words to this sense or purpose; tell them that I, who hitherto have been toward them as a lamb, will now be to them as a lion; so Joel 3:16; Amos 1:2; Amos 3:8; and, as a lion, will roar from heaven; for though the temple be sometimes called his holy habitation, yet the foregoing words, from, on high, expound this term in this place otherwise. Upon his habitation, or in his habitation, which is more likely to be understood, in... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:31

There shall be such confusion, and noises as shall ring over all the world; for God’s quarrel is not against the Jews only, but other nations also. Nor will he in any thing he doth act unjustly; if they will join issue with him, he will plead with them, and make it appear to all that he acteth righteously. He will give up many to the sword, but they shall be such only as by their wickedness have deserved it, recompensing to them their own works and evil doings. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:32

It is much the same thing which was said before, only repeated for the greater terror in a variety of expressions. He tells them that the judgment should be like a contagion, going from one nation to another, or like a fire catching hold of another house before the first is burned down, like a whirlwind that blows from all sides, cometh suddenly, and devoureth dreadfully. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:33

That those who should be slain by commission from the Lord in this time of his judgments should be in all places, and so numerous, that there should be none left to lament for or to bury the dead; but the dead bodies should lie and rot upon the surface of the earth, and be as muck to it. See the like phrases Jeremiah 16:4. read more
