Jeremiah 25:20 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 25:15-29

Under the similitude of a cup going round, which all the company must drink of, is here represented the universal desolation that was now coming upon that part of the world which Nebuchadrezzar, who just now began to reign and act, was to be the instrument of, and which should at length recoil upon his own country. The cup in the vision is to be a sword in the accomplishment of it: so it is explained, Jer. 25:16. It is the sword that I will send among them, the sword of war, that should be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:20

And all the mingled people ,.... Not the Arabians, who are mentioned afterwards, Jeremiah 25:24 ; but rather a mixed people in the land of Egypt, such as came out of it along with the Israelites; or were near it, and bordered upon it, as the Targum; which renders it, all the bordering kings; or rather a mixture of people of different nations that dwelt by the sea coasts, either the Mediterranean, or the Red sea, as others think: and all the kings of the land of Uz ; not the country of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:20

Verse 20 Jeremiah, after having spoken of his own nation and of the Egyptians, now mentions other nations who were probably known by report to the Jews; for we see in the catalogue some who were afar off. He then does not only speak of neighboring nations, but also of others. His object, in short, was to shew that God’s vengeance was near, which would extend here and there, so as to include the whole world known to the Jews. We stated yesterday the reason why he connected the Egyptians with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:20

The mingled people ; Septuagint, καὶ πάντας τοὺς συμμίκτους : Vulgate, et universes generaliter . The Hebrew ‛erebh probably means, not "mingled [i.e. 'motley'] people," as the Authorized Version, but "foreign people," i.e. a body of men belonging to some particular nation intermixed or interspersed among those belonging to another. This explanation will account for the use of the word in all the passages in which it occurs (here and in Jeremiah 25:24 ; also Exodus... read more

The mingled people - Either auxiliaries; or, rather, a constituent portion of the people of Egypt, who were not of pure blood.Azzah - i. e., Gaza.The remnant of Ashdod - A sentence which none but a contemporary writer could have used. Psammetichus, after a siege of 29 years, had captured and destroyed Ashdod, except for a feeble remnant. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 25:18-21

Jeremiah 25:18-21. To wit, Jerusalem and the cities thereof The Jews are mentioned first, because Jeremiah, as well as the rest of the prophets, was in the first place sent to them, and they were to have the greatest share in the judgments denounced. As it is this day This clause speaks of the desolation of Judah and Jerusalem; when all that Jeremiah had foretold against them was fulfilled; and therefore must have been added either by Baruch, his amanuensis, or else by Ezra: or whoever it... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:15-38

Judgment on various nations (25:15-38)God is righteous and holy, and in justice pours out his wrath on those who arrogantly defy his authority. His judgment upon wicked nations is likened to a cup of wine given to a person to make him drunk so that he staggers and falls (15-16). Through the spreading conquests of the Babylonian armies, God has punished Judah (17-18), along with a variety of other nations far and near (19-25). But in the end Babylon, the agent God has used to carry out his... read more
