Jeremiah 25:13-16 - I will repay them according to their deeds

25:13,14

Babylon would receive her due punishment. She would be judged for all the wrong that she had done. And Jeremiah would prophesy against Babylon and other nations, we will come to this later on in the book.

25:15,16

Jeremiah is metaphorically given the cup of God’s wrath. The word he preaches to Judah and to all the nations declares judgement, and the judgement will cause enormous distress among the nations because of the death and destruction that would come. We must remember that Jesus spoke of drinking the cup, and that cup was the wrath of God that Jesus took upon Himself in our place.
