Jeremiah 25:30

So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Study note

Setting — The LORD commands Jeremiah to deliver a message of impending judgment to the nations. This occurs as the prophet prepares to announce that disaster will begin in God’s own city before sweeping across the earth.

The words — תִנָּבֵא (ti.na.Ve') means "you will prophesy," and אָמַרְתָּ ('a.mar.Ta) means "you will say." These verbs frame the direct command to declare the coming divine warning.

The thread — The image of God roaring from a holy place runs through Amos 1:2, Isaiah 42:13, and Joel 3:16. These passages consistently link the divine roar with judgment and the trembling of creation.

Why it lands — The text states that judgment originates from God’s presence and extends to every inhabitant of the earth. The reader must acknowledge that the announced word applies universally and demands immediate attention.

King James Version

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
