Notes

Jeremiah 25:16

When they drank from the cup (Jeremiah 25:15), the nations would stagger like they were drunk. The warfare would drive them crazy, making them unable to protect themselves. They would feel hopeless and helpless. In their confusion, they would panic.

Jeremiah 25:15–38

The Lord is the supreme ruler of all nations, and their rebellion was about to bring judgment.
To whom I send you: Jeremiah did not travel to each nation in person. The message he delivered from the Lord spread mainly through written material, much of it in the book of Jeremiah, which people have read worldwide.
