This is a scholarly parallel-text presentation of Jeremiah 25, displaying three versions side by side: the King James Version (with interlinear Strong's concordance numbers), the Septuagint (ancient Greek translation, abbreviated "Sep"), and the Hebrew Masoretic text (Tanakh, abbreviated "Tan"). The chapter is prophetic literature from the Hebrew Bible, belonging to the tradition of classical Israelite prophecy. Its central argument is a divine indictment of Judah: God declares that because the people ignored 23 years of prophetic warnings and continued worshipping foreign gods, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon will be sent as divine instrument to devastate Judah and surrounding nations, with a 70-year captivity as punishment. A distinctive and influential element is the "cup of wrath" oracle (vv. 15–29), in which Jeremiah is commanded to make all nations drink from a cup of divine fury, with a sweeping list of peoples from Egypt to Elam to Arabia — suggesting a cosmic judgment extending far beyond Judah. The Septuagint column diverges notably from the KJV after verse 13, replacing the "cup of wrath" sequence with oracles against Elam, reflecting a well-documented textual divergence between the Greek and Hebrew manuscript traditions of Jeremiah. This presentation would primarily interest scholars of biblical textual criticism, translation history, or the theological development of prophetic judgment literature.
