Jeremiah 25:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

God's judgments are often in Scripture expressed under the notion of a cup of hot and intoxicating drink, and their suffering is set out under the notion of drinking such a cup, as Psalms 75:8 Job 21:20 Isaiah 51:17 Psalms 11:6, Psalms 60:3 Lamentations 4:21 Ezekiel 23:32,34. God made Jeremiah to see the appearance of such a cup in a vision, and bade him to carry it to the nations to whom he sent him, to signify to them that his wrath should be poured out on them, and they should drink of it.

Jeremiah 25:15

15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
