Jeremiah 25:30 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 25:30-38

We have, in these verses, a further description of those terrible desolations which the king of Babylon with his armies should make in all the countries and nations round about Jerusalem. In Jerusalem God had erected his temple; there were his oracles and ordinances, which the neighbouring nations should have attended to and might have received benefit by; thither they should have applied for the knowledge of God and their duty, and then they might have had reason to bless God for their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:30

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them ,.... What follows, as well as declare all that is before spoken concerning the cup of fury all nations must drink of: the Lord shall roar from on high : from, heaven, like a lion, in violent claps of thunder; or in such dreadful dispensations of his providence, as will be very amazing and terrifying: and utter his voice from his holy habitation ; from heaven, as before; and though it will be terrible, yet quite... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:30

Verse 30 The word הידד , eidad, is rendered celeusma, a shout; but some render it a mournful singing; and it often occurs when the vintage is spoken of. Celeusma, as it is well known, is the shout of sailors. Its etymology is indeed general in its meaning; for κελεύειν is to exhort, to encourage; and then the noun is exhortation. But as this word is only used as to sailors, I prefer to adopt the word sound, or a loud noise. Then he says, Prophesy thou against them all these words, and say to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:30

Therefore prophesy thou , etc. Babylon, like the smaller kingdoms which it absorbed, has fallen, and nothing remains (for nothing had been revealed to the prophet concerning an interval to elapse previously) but to picture the great assize from which no flesh should be exempt. As the lion suddenly bursts, roaring, from his lair, so Jehovah, no longer the "good Shepherd," shall roar from on high (comp. Amos 1:2 ; Joel 3:16 ) even upon his habitation , or rather, against his pasture ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:30-38

The vision of final judgment. A sublime and terrible description; corresponding with many others throughout the Old and New Testaments. I. IT SERVES A GREAT ETHICAL PURPOSE . The sense of wrong-doing is thereby intensified, and some idea is given of the awful consequences of sin and its hatefulness to the mind of God. II. AN EVIDENCE OF THE HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF SIN AND SALVATION . By such visions as these the ages of the world are linked together... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 25:30-33

Jeremiah 25:30-33. The Lord shall roar from on high Shall manifest his anger from heaven. God speaks by his judgments, and those, when they are very terrible, may be fitly compared to the roaring of a lion, which strikes a consternation into those that hear it. He shall mightily roar upon his habitation He shall pronounce and execute a terrible judgment upon his temple, the place on earth which he hath chosen for his residence: see 1 Kings 8:29. He shall give a shout as they that tread... 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
