Context of Jeremiah 25:15

13I will bring on that land all My words which I pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them also. So I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their own hands.” For thus says Adonai, the God of Israel, to me: “Take this cup of the wine of fury from My hand, and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink it. 16They will drink, and reel to and fro, and be like madmen, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17Then I took the cup from Adonai’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom Adonai had sent me:
