Jeremías 25:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:14

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of
them also
Take their cities, seize upon the kingdoms, spoil them of their wealth and riches, and bring them into servitude to them: these "many nations", which should and did do all this, were the Medes and Persians, and those that were subject to them, or were their allies and auxiliaries in this expedition; and the "great kings" were Cyrus and Darius, and those that were confederate with them: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to
the works of their own hands;
as they have done to others, it shall be done to them; as they have served themselves of other nations, other nations shall serve themselves of them; as they have cruelly used others, they shall be used with cruelty themselves; and as they have made other countries desolate, their land shall become desolate also; not only their tyranny and cruelty, but all their other sins, shall receive a just recompence of reward.

15 La copa del enojo del Señor
Esto me dijo el Señor
, Dios de Israel: «Toma de mi mano la copa de mi enojo, que está llena hasta el borde, y haz que todas las naciones a las que te envíe beban de ella.
