Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 25:38
(38) He hath forsaken his covert . . .—The image of Jeremiah 25:30 is reproduced. The thunder of Jehovah’s wrath is as the roaring of the lion (Amos 3:8). He is as the lion leaving its hiding-place in the forest, and going forth to do its work of vengeance.Because of the fierceness of the oppressor.—A slight alteration, adopted by many commentators, gives “because of the sword of oppression,” as in Jeremiah 46:16; Jeremiah 50:16. The word for “oppressor” or “oppression” also means “dove,” and... read more

CHAPTER XVIJEHOVAH AND THE NATIONSJeremiah 25:15-38"Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations."- Jeremiah 25:31As the son of a king only learns very gradually that his father’s authority and activity extend beyond the family and the household, so Israel in its childhood thought of Jehovah as exclusively concerned with itself.Such ideas as omnipotence and universal Providence did not exist; therefore they could not be denied; and the limitations of the national faith were not essentially... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-38
MESSAGES IN JEHOIAKIM ’S REIGN Having just considered discourses in Zedekiah’s reign, and now returning to that of Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 25:1 ), it can be seen that the chapters are not arranged chronologically. The first message is that of the seventy years captivity. We are familiar with that period as Judah’s forced stay in Babylon, and it is interesting to see the place where it was definitely predicted (Jeremiah 25:11-12 ). Note what leads up to the prediction, God’s patience and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 25:15-31
This scripture can need no other comment, than what is contained in Revelation 14:10 . By Jeremiah's taking the cup, and making all these nations drink of it, is meant, making them to hear and know that the wrath of God is coming upon them. The Lord had indeed been chastizing his children: but when that was accomplished, the rod should be burnt or destroyed. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 25:36
(36) A voice of the cry . . . shall be heard.—Here again the insertion of the words in italics is a change for the worse, and reduces the dramatic vividness of the Hebrew to the tamest prose. The prophet speaks as if he actually heard the “cry of the shepherds”—i.e., the princes—and the howling of the “principal of the flocks”—i.e., of the captains under them. The work of spoiling was begun. read more
