Geremia 25:17-28

Listen to Geremia 25:17-28
17 Io adunque presi la coppa di man del Signore, e ne diedi bere a tutte le genti, alle quali il Signore mi mandava;
18 a Gerusalemme, ed alle città di Giuda, ed a’ suoi re, ed a’ suoi principi; per metterli in istupore, in desolazione, in zufolo, e in maledizione, come sono al dì d’oggi;
19 a Faraone, re di Egitto, ed ai suoi servitori, ed a’ suoi principi, ed a tutto il suo popolo;
20 ed a tutto il popolo mischiato, ed a tutti i re del paese di Us, ed a tutti i re del paese de’ Filistei, e ad Ascalon, ed a Gaza, e ad Ecron, ed al rimanente di Asdod;
21 ad Edom, ed a Moab, ed a’ figliuoli di Ammon;
22 ed a tutti i re di Tiro, ed a tutti i re di Sidon, ed ai re delle isole oltre mare;
23 a Dedan, ed a Tema, ed a Buz, ed a tutti quelli che si radono i canti delle tempie;
24 ed a tutti i re dell’Arabia, ed a tutti i re del popolo mischiato, i quali abitano nel deserto;
25 ed a tutti i re di Zimri, ed a tutti i re di Elam, ed a tutti i re di Media;
26 ed a tutti i re di Settentrione, vicini, o lontani, dall’uno all’altro; ed a tutti i regni della terra che son sopra la faccia di essa; il re di Sesac ne berrà anch’egli dopo loro.
27 Di’ loro adunque: Così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Bevete, e inebbriatevi, e vomitate, e lasciatevi cadere, senza poter rilevarvi, per la spada che io mando fra voi.
28 E se pur ricusano di prender di mano tua la coppa, per bere, di’ loro: Così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti: Pur ne berrete.

Geremia 25:17-28 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 25

This chapter contains a prophecy of the destruction of Judea by the king of Babylon; and also of Babylon itself, after the Jews' captivity of seventy years; and likewise of all the nations round about. The date of this prophecy is in Jer 25:1; when the prophet puts the Jews in mind of the prophecies that had been delivered unto them by himself and others, for some years past, without effect, Jer 25:2-7; wherefore they are threatened with the king of Babylon, that he should come against them, and strip them of all their desirable things; make their land desolate, and them captives for seventy years, Jer 25:8-11; at the expiration of which he in his turn shall be punished, and the land of Chaldea laid waste, and become subject to other nations and kings, Jer 25:12-14; and by a cup of wine given to all the nations round about, is signified the utter ruin of them, and who are particularly mentioned by name, Jer 25:15-26; which is confirmed by beginning with the city of Jerusalem, and the destruction of that, Jer 25:27-29; wherefore the prophet is bid to prophesy against them, and to declare the Lord's controversy with them, and that there should be a slaughter of them from one end of the earth to the other, Jer 25:30-33; upon which the shepherds, kings, and rulers of them, are called to lamentation and howling, Jer 25:34-38.
