Jeremiah 25:17
v. 17–26: Jeremiah lists all the nations who must drink the cup of God’s wrath. It starts with Jerusalem and Judah because judgment begins with God’s own people (1 Peter 4:17 a). Then it continues to Egypt, the Philistines, Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, Zidon, and even distant nations. Nebuchadnezzar will conquer many, and God will use him to punish these kingdoms. Even Babylon (here called Sheshach) will later be judged by God after the others (Jeremiah 51:41 b).
