Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 25:30-33
Jeremiah 25:30-33. The Lord shall roar from on high Shall manifest his anger from heaven.

His judgment upon wicked nations is likened to a cup of wine given to a person to make him drunk so that he staggers and falls (15-16). Through the spreading conquests of the Babylonian armies, God has punished Judah (17-18), along with a variety of other nations far and near (19-25). But in the end Babylon, the agent God has used to carry out his... read more
