Context of Jeremiah 25:21
Jeremiah 25:21 is part of a significant prophecy delivered by Jeremiah, often referred to as the "cup of wrath" prophecy (beginning in Jeremiah 25:15). In this vision, God commands Jeremiah to make all nations drink from the cup of His furious wrath, signifying divine judgment. This particular verse lists three prominent neighboring nations of Judah: Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon. These nations, though distinct, shared a common history of interaction, often hostile, with Israel and Judah, and were frequent targets of prophetic condemnation.
