Jeremiah25:30

30 Therefore prophesie thou against them all these words, and say unto them , The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation i, he shall mightily roar upon his habitation , he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth .

Reveal my will unto them presently to revenge my self upon them, in words to this sense or purpose, tell them, that I who hitherto have been toward them as a Lamb will now be to them as a Lion, so Ioel 3.16. Amos 1.2. and 3.8. and, as a Lion, will roar from Heaven, for though the Temple be sometimes so called, yet the foregoing words from on high expound this term in this place otherwise.

Or in his habitation which is more likely to be understood in Heaven, (as the former,) then in Ierusalem as divers would have it, for God is here revealing his wrath against forreign Nations, upon some of which these judgments came after God had done roaring in or upon Ierusalem.

A shout, such as Souldiers use to give when they storm a City, or assault their Enemies to incourage their fellowes, and to dishearten their Enemies, like the shout of those that tread the Grapes, singing one to another, or rejoycing and triumphing in the Vintage.
