Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
25:15-38 The Lord is the sovereign king of all the nations, and their rebellion was about to result in judgment. • to whom I send you: Jeremiah did not physically travel to each nation. The message he delivered from the Lord spread mostly through written material, much of it in the book of Jeremiah, which has been read throughout the world. 25:15 The messages of wrath that the Lord gave to Jeremiah were represented as a cup full of the wine of the Lord’s anger (Rev 14:10). Jeremiah was to make the nations drink from it; God wanted them to hear the messages of condemnation and to experience the promised judgment.
