Jeremiah 25
1. Jeremiah, reproving the Jews' disobedience to the prophets,

12. and after that, the destruction of Babylon.

Therefore prophesy against them all these words
The word "prophesy" in Hebrew is "נָבָא" (naba), which means to speak or sing by inspiration, often with the implication of divine communication. Jeremiah is commanded to deliver a message of judgment, emphasizing the role of a prophet as a mouthpiece for God. The phrase "against them" indicates a direct confrontation with the people, highlighting the seriousness of their transgressions. The "words" refer to the preceding and following messages of impending judgment, underscoring the comprehensive nature of God's warning.

and say to them
This phrase underscores the personal and direct nature of God's communication through Jeremiah. The prophet is not merely writing or thinking these words; he is to speak them aloud, ensuring that the message is heard and understood by the intended audience. This reflects the oral tradition of prophetic ministry in ancient Israel, where spoken words carried authority and power.

The LORD will roar from on high
The imagery of the "roar" is powerful, evoking the sound of a lion, which in the ancient Near Eastern context symbolizes strength, authority, and impending action. The Hebrew word "שָׁאַג" (sha'ag) conveys a sense of overwhelming power and majesty. "From on high" indicates the divine origin of this roar, coming from the heavenly realm, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the seriousness of His judgment.

He will raise His voice from His holy habitation
The "holy habitation" refers to heaven, the dwelling place of God, which is set apart and sacred. The act of raising His voice signifies the intensity and urgency of the message. In the Hebrew context, God's voice is often associated with creation, command, and judgment, reinforcing His ultimate authority over all creation.

He will roar mightily against His fold
The "fold" refers to God's people, often depicted as sheep under His care. The use of "roar mightily" suggests a dramatic shift from protection to judgment, indicating that the people have strayed from their covenant relationship with God. This phrase serves as a warning that even those who are considered God's own are not exempt from His righteous judgment if they persist in disobedience.

He will shout like those who tread the grapes
This simile draws on the imagery of a winepress, where grapes are crushed to produce wine. The "shout" is the sound of those who tread, symbolizing the process of judgment and purification. In biblical symbolism, the winepress often represents God's wrath and the execution of justice, as seen in other prophetic writings.

against all who dwell on the earth
This phrase expands the scope of the prophecy to include not just Israel but all nations. It underscores the universal nature of God's judgment, affirming that He is the sovereign ruler over all the earth. The inclusivity of "all who dwell" serves as a reminder of the accountability of every nation and individual before God, reinforcing the call to repentance and righteousness.

(30) He shall mightily roar upon his habitation.--The use of the same English word for two Hebrew words of very different meaning is here singularly infelicitous. The first "habitation" is the dwelling-place of Jehovah, from which the thunders of His wrath are heard. The second is the "pasture" or dwelling-place of the flock and its shepherds, as in Jeremiah 6:2; Jeremiah 10:25; Psalm 79:7, upon whom the storm falls. Possibly, under its association with this new word, the roaring becomes to the prophet's mind as that of the lion which attacks the flock. The same bold imagery for the Divine judgments meets us in Joel 3:16; Amos 1:2; Amos 3:8. . . . Verses 30-38. - The judgment upon the world. Verse 30. - Therefore prophesy thou, etc. Babylon, like the smaller kingdoms which it absorbed, has fallen, and nothing remains (for nothing had been revealed to the prophet concerning an interval to elapse previously) but to picture the great assize from which no flesh should be exempt. As the lion suddenly bursts, roaring, from his lair, so Jehovah, no longer the "good Shepherd," shall roar from on high (comp. Amos 1:2; Joel 3:16) even upon his habitation, or rather, against his pasture, where his flock (Jeremiah 23:1) has been feeding so securely. He shall give a shout. It is the technical term used at once for the vintage-shout and for the battle-cry. In Isaiah 16:9, 10, there is a beautiful allusion to this double meaning, and so perhaps there is here (comp. Jeremiah 51:14).
