Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 25:32

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation,.... Begin in one nation, and then go on to another; first in Judea, and then in Egypt; and so on, like a catching

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 25:32

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:32

It is much the same thing which was said before, only repeated for the greater terror in a variety of expressions. He tells them that the judgment should be like a contagion, going from one nation to another, or like a fire catching hold of another house before the first is burned down, like a whirlwind that blows from all sides, cometh suddenly, and devoureth dreadfully.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:32

Jeremiah 25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.Ver. 32. Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation.] See on Jeremiah 25:16.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:32

(32) Whirlwind.—The word, as in Jeremiah 23:19, is more generic, a tempest. The storm is seen as it were rising from the “coasts”—i.e., the sides or horizon of the earth, as in Jeremiah 6:22—and spreading over all the nations.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:32

Verse 32. Evil shall go forth from nation to nation] One nation after another shall fall before the Chaldeans.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 25:32

30–38. The judgement to come upon all the peoples of the earth. The description is characterized by Oriental hyperbole. A considerable amount is adapted from elsewhere, and the eschatological character of the whole tends to throw serious doubts upon the genuineness of the passage.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 25:32

A great whirlwind - Or, storm. The coasts of the earth - See Jeremiah 6:22 note. The thunderstorm seen first on the edge of the horizon overspreads the heaven, and travels from nation to nation in its destructive course.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:32

32. Evil shall go forth — As a fierce and destructive storm travels on from nation to nation.
