Jeremiah25:15
15 ¶ For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me, Take the wine-cup of this fury at my hand , and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it .
Gods judgements are often in Scripture expressed under the notion of a cup of hot and intoxicating drink, and their suffering is set out under the notion of drinking such a cup as Psal. 75.8. Iob 21.20. Isa. 51.17. Psal. 11.6. and 60.3. Lam. 4.21. Ezek. 23.32, 34. God made Ieremiah to see the appearance of such a cup in a Vision.
And bad him to carry it to the Nations to whom he sent him, to signifie to them that his wrath should be poured out on them, and they should drink of it.
