Jeremiah 25:32

25:32 The Lord who rules over all ¹  says,

‘Disaster will soon come on one nation after another. ² 

A mighty storm of military destruction ³  is rising up

from the distant parts of the earth.’

[25:32]  ¹ tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

[25:32]  ² tn Heb “will go forth from nation to nation.”

[25:32]  ³ tn The words “of military destruction” have been supplied in the translation to make the metaphor clear. The metaphor has shifted from that of God as a lion, to God as a warrior, to God as a judge, to God as the author of the storm winds of destruction.
