  1. Jeremiah 25:31 tn For the use of this word see Amos 2:2; Hos 10:14; Ps 74:23. See also the usage in Isa 66:6, which is very similar to the metaphorical usage here.
  2. Jeremiah 25:31 tn Heb “the Lord has a lawsuit against the nations.” For usage with “lawsuit” see Hos 4:1 and Mic 6:2, and compare use of the related verb in Jer 2:9 and 12:1.
  3. Jeremiah 25:31 tn Heb “give the wicked over to the sword.”sn There is undoubtedly a deliberate allusion here to the “wars” (Heb “sword”) that the Lord had said he would send raging through the nations (vv. 16, 27), and to the “war” (Heb “sword”) that he is proclaiming against them (v. 29).
  4. Jeremiah 25:31 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

31 Maririnig ang tinig niya sa buong daigdig,[a] dahil ihahabla niya ang mga bansa. Hahatulan niya ang lahat, at ipapapatay niya sa digmaan ang masasama.’ Ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi nito.”
