Context — The Cup of God’s Wrath
15This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
16And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
18to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials; 19Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;Cross References

Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor! Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the LORD. “The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall. Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn? Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers, boasting, ‘I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy the cities and their people.’ Advance, O horses! Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth— Cush and Put carrying their shields, men of Lydia drawing the bow. For that day belongs to the Lord GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance against His foes.

Go up to Gilead for balm, O Virgin Daughter of Egypt! In vain you try many remedies, but for you there is no healing. The nations have heard of your shame, and your outcry fills the earth, because warrior stumbles over warrior and both of them have fallen together.” This is the word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt: “Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword devours those around you.’ Why have your warriors been laid low? They cannot stand, for the LORD has thrust them down. They continue to stumble; indeed, they have fallen over one another. They say, ‘Get up! Let us return to our people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword of the oppressor.’ There they will cry out: ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he has let the appointed time pass him by.’ As surely as I live, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, there will come one who is like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea. Pack your bags for exile, O daughter dwelling in Egypt! For Memphis will be laid waste, destroyed and uninhabited. Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly from the north is coming against her. Even the mercenaries among her are like fattened calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them— the time of their punishment. Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent, for the enemy will advance in force; with axes they will come against her like woodsmen cutting down trees. They will chop down her forest, declares the LORD, dense though it may be, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted. The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be delivered into the hands of the people of the north.” The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I am about to punish Amon god of Thebes, along with Pharaoh, Egypt with her gods and kings, and those who trust in Pharaoh. I will deliver them into the hands of those who seek their lives—of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after this, Egypt will be inhabited as in days of old, declares the LORD. But you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid. And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, for I am with you.

Jeremiah 25:17 Summary
[Jeremiah 25:17 is a powerful verse that shows us God's judgment on the nations that have rebelled against Him. The cup that Jeremiah took from God's hand represents the wine of God's wrath, which will be poured out on those who have rejected Him, as seen in Jeremiah 25:15. This is a reminder that our actions have consequences, and that God is a just and holy God who will not tolerate sin, as stated in Habakkuk 1:13 and Romans 6:23. As we reflect on this verse, let us remember the importance of obedience to God and the need for redemption through Jesus Christ, as seen in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the cup represent in Jeremiah 25:17?
The cup represents the wine of God's wrath, as mentioned in Jeremiah 25:15, which will be poured out on the nations as a form of judgment, similar to what is described in Isaiah 51:17 and Revelation 16:19.
Why did Jeremiah have to make all the nations drink from the cup?
Jeremiah was instructed by God to make all the nations drink from the cup as a symbol of the judgment that God would bring upon them, as stated in Jeremiah 25:15-16, and this is also seen in the context of God's sovereignty over all nations, as declared in Daniel 4:17 and Romans 13:1.
Is this cup of wrath limited to the nations mentioned in Jeremiah 25:18-19?
No, the cup of wrath is not limited to the nations mentioned in Jeremiah 25:18-19, but rather it is a symbol of God's judgment on all nations that have rebelled against Him, as seen in Jeremiah 25:17 and Isaiah 13:11.
How does this verse relate to God's plan of redemption?
This verse relates to God's plan of redemption in that it highlights the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, which makes the need for redemption through Jesus Christ, as seen in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8, all the more evident and necessary.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for a nation to 'drink from the cup' of God's wrath, and how can we apply this principle to our own lives?
- In what ways can we see God's sovereignty over the nations, as declared in Jeremiah 25:17, and how should this affect our prayers and actions?
- How does the concept of God's wrath, as represented by the cup, relate to His love and mercy, as seen in John 3:16 and Psalm 103:8?
- What can we learn from Jeremiah's obedience to God's instructions, even when they seem difficult or unpleasant, and how can we apply this to our own walks with God?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 25:17
Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand,.... In a visionary way, and did as he commanded, and prophesied as he directed him.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 25:17
Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:17
That is, in the vision; for it cannot be thought that the Lord made the prophet to travel up and down to all the nations afterward named with a cup of wine in his hand.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:17
Jeremiah 25:17 Then took I the cup at the LORD’ S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:Ver. 17. And made all drink,] viz., In vision, and by denunciation.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:17
(17) Then took I the cup . . .—The words describe the act of the prophet as in the ecstasy of vision. One by one the nations are made to drink of that cup of the wrath of Jehovah of which His own country was to have the first and fullest draught. It is a strange example of the literalism of minds incapable of entering into the poetry of a prophet’s work, that one commentator (Michaelis) has supposed that the prophet offered an actual goblet of wine to the ambassadors of the states named, who were then, as he imagines, assembled at Jerusalem, as in Jeremiah 27:3.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:17
Verse 17. Then took I the cup - and made all the nations to drink] This cup of God's wrath is merely symbolical, and simply means that the prophet should declare to all these people that they shall fall under the Chaldean yoke, and that this is a punishment inflicted on them by God for their iniquities. "Then I took the cup;" I declared publicly the tribulation that God was about to bring on Jerusalem, the cities of Judah, and all the nations.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 25:17
17. Then took I the cup] not in any literal sense, but in vision; yet “not a mere allegory, but a psychic experience, in which Jeremiah really seems to himself to be forcing the goblet on the nations which he enumerates.” Pe.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 25:17
Then took I the cup - Not actually offering the wine-cup - Holy Scripture has suffered much from this materialistic way of explaining it: but publicly proclaiming this prophecy in Jerusalem, as the
