Jeremias 25:16

Jer 25:16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Ver. 16. And be moved and be mad. ] As men that are overcome by some hot and heady liquor, are mad drunk.

Because of the sword that I shall send. ] For it is God who puts the sword in commission, Jer 47:6-7 and there it many times rideth circuit, as a judge, in scarlet. There are certain seasons, wherein, as the angel troubled the pool, so doth God the nations: and commonly when he doth it to one, he doth it to more, as here, and 2 Chronicles 15:5-6 , and as at this day in Europe.
