Jeremiah 25:31

"“Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘The LORD will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth."

Key Reflection

This passage envisions God's powerful judgment, likening His call to repentance and His impending wrath to the fierce roar of a lion and the resounding shout of grape-treaders. It highlights both the severity of divine retribution and the widespread impact of God’s final judgments upon all nations.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

A noise -The trampling of an army in motion. CompareAmos 2:2. A controversy -i. e., a suit at law. Will plead -Or, will hold judgment. As judge He delivers the wicked to the sword.
