Jeremias 25:36

36 And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation which they shall not come— the outcasts of Aelam.

Jeremias 25:36 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:36

And a voice of the cry of the shepherds
Or of the kings, as the Targum: and an howling of the principal of the flock, [shall be heard];
of the mighty of the people, as the same; what is before called for is here represented as in fact, because of the certainty of it: for the Lord hath spoiled their pastures:
their kingdoms, provinces, cities, and towns; or their people, as the Targum, among whom they lived, and by whom they were supported; still keeping up the metaphor of the shepherd and flock. This the Lord is said to do because he suffered it to be done, yea, ordered it to be done, as a punishment for their sins.

Jeremias 25:36 In-Context

34 THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF AeLAM.

35 Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Aelam is broken, the chief of their power.

36 And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation which they shall not come— the outcasts of Aelam.

37 And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.

38 And I will set my throne in Aelam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
