Context — Seventy Years of Captivity
12But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
13I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
15This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it. 16And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”Cross References

Jeremiah 25:14 Summary
This verse is saying that the Babylonians, who were a very powerful nation, will be conquered and ruled by other nations and kings. This is because God is judging them for the bad things they have done, like worshiping false idols and hurting other people, as seen in Jeremiah 25:11. It's like what happens in Romans 6:23, where it says that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. God wants us to know that our actions have consequences, and He will judge us for what we do, but He also offers us forgiveness and love through Jesus Christ, as seen in John 3:16.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that many nations and great kings will enslave the Babylonians?
This means that the Babylonians, who were once a powerful and dominant empire, will be conquered and ruled by other nations and kings, as a form of judgment from God, similar to what is described in Deuteronomy 28:25 and Isaiah 13:19.
How will God repay the Babylonians according to their deeds and the work of their hands?
God will repay the Babylonians according to the evil deeds they have committed, such as their idolatry and violence, as seen in Jeremiah 25:11 and Habakkuk 2:8-10, and He will also judge them for the harm they have caused to others.
Is this verse talking about a specific time period or event?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy about the judgment of Babylon, which is also described in Jeremiah 25:12 and Revelation 18:2-3, and it refers to a time when God will punish the Babylonians for their sins after a period of seventy years, as mentioned in Jeremiah 25:12.
What is the significance of the Babylonians being enslaved by many nations and great kings?
The enslavement of the Babylonians by many nations and great kings signifies the end of their power and dominance, and it serves as a reminder that God is the one who raises up and brings down nations, as stated in Daniel 2:21 and Psalm 75:7.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about God's character and His approach to justice?
- How does this prophecy about the Babylonians relate to our own lives and the consequences of our actions?
- What does it mean to be repaid according to our deeds and the work of our hands, and how can we apply this principle to our own lives?
- In what ways can we see the fulfillment of this prophecy in history, and what lessons can we learn from it?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 25:14
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also,.... Take their cities, seize upon the kingdoms, spoil them of their wealth and riches, and bring them into servitude to them:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 25:14
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:14
God threateneth the destruction of that monarchy by the Persians, according to the prophecy of this prophet, and declareth that their destruction was of themselves, God did but recompense unto them their own deeds, and the works of their hands; which is not to be restrained to their excesses in executing Divine vengeance, and the cruelty they used to the Israelites, but more generally interpreted of all their wicked courses.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:14
Jeremiah 25:14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.Ver. 14. For many nations.] The Medes and Persians, together with the rest that served under them. And great kings.] Cyrus and Darius especially.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:14
(14) Shall serve themselves of them.—Better, shall make them their servants. The English “serve themselves” (a Gallicism in common use in the seventeenth century), which occurs again in Jeremiah 27:7, is now ambiguous, and hardly conveys the force of the original. What is meant is that the law of retribution will in due time be seen in its action upon those who were now masters of the world. The thought is the same as that expressed in the familiar “Græcia capta ferum victorem cepit” of Horace (Ep II. i., 156).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:14
Verse 14. Many nations and great kings] The Medes and the Persians, under Cyrus; and several princes, his vassals or allies.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 25:14
14. shall serve themselves of them, even of them] lit. shall work by (means of) them, i.e. shall use them as slaves. As the Chaldaeans have done to the people of God, so shall He requite them.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 25:14
Shall serve themselves of them also - i. e., shall impose forced labor upon the Chaldaeans, and reduce them also to servitude.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:14
14. Shall serve themselves — Shall make them, namely, the Chaldeans. their slaves. See Jeremiah 50:29; Jeremiah 51:24.
