25:30 Jeremiah was also to announce that God would prepare to judge all the inhabitants of the earth (v. 29). As a lion announces its intent to attack with a roar, so Yahweh would one day announce His attack on earth dwellers (cf. Rev. 6).346He would vigorously tread the nations in the wine press of His wrath (cf. Rev. 14:18-20; 16:14-16). This anticipates Tribulation judgments (Rev. 6-18).
25:31 His judgment would cause clamor worldwide. He would judge everyone because He holds them guilty in a lawsuit. The wicked would die violent deaths.
25:32 Almighty Yahweh also announced that evil was spreading all over the world. As a result, a storm of divine judgment of global proportions was also being stirred up.
25:33 The Lord would slay people in all parts of the world during this judgment. So many people would die that they would lie on the ground unburied like manure (cf. Rev. 14:20).
25:34 Leaders of peoples then should mourn and weep because the day of their destruction and the dispersion of their nations had come. In this judgment the shepherds would die along with the sheep. Like a choice piece of pottery these nations would fall and break apart.
25:35-37 The leaders would not be able to escape the judgment but would weep and wail over their fate. They would bewail the fact that Yahweh was destroying their nations in His fierce anger (cf. Rev. 16:8-11).
25:38 The Lord would leave His place of obscurity and attack His enemies like a lion (cf. v. 30; Rev. 19:11-21). The earth would become a devastation because the Divine Warrior would vent His fury.
This is the end of the collection of prophecies that were warnings of judgment on Judah and Jerusalem (chs. 2-25).
