And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon ,.... Two very ancient cities in Phoenicia, frequently mentioned together in Scripture, being near each other. Their ruin is foretold in Jeremiah 47:4 ; and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea ; which some understand of Greece and Italy; others of Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete, and other islands in the Mediterranean sea; the Cyclades, as Jerom: but the words may be rendered, "and the kings of the country by the seaside";... read more

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz ,.... These seem to be places in Edom or Idumea, of whose destruction Jeremiah prophesies in Jeremiah 49:7 ; or rather in Arabia and Mesopotamia. Jerom reckons them among the Ishmaelites and Saracens, The persons from whom they descended are mentioned in Genesis 22:21 ; and all that are in the utmost corners ; that is, either of the above countries, or of the whole earth: or "all that had their hair shorn" F13 כל קצוצי פאה "universis qui attonsi... read more

And all the kings of Zimri ,.... Of Arabia Felix, so called from Zimran, a son of Abraham by Keturah, Genesis 25:2 ; the same whom Pliny F14 Nat. Hist. I. 6. c. 28. calls Zamerenes; and all the kings of Elam ; or Persia; who are prophesied against in Jeremiah 49:34 ; and all the kings of the Medes ; who commonly go together with the Persians. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:17

Then took I the cup - and made all the nations to drink - This cup of God's wrath is merely symbolical, and simply means that the prophet should declare to all these people that they shall fall under the Chaldean yoke, and that this is a punishment inflicted on them by God for their iniquities. "Then I took the cup;" I declared publicly the tribulation that God was about to bring on Jerusalem, the cities of Judah, and all the nations. read more
