Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 25:14

_ _ serve themselves — (Jeremiah 27:7; Jeremiah 30:8; Jeremiah 34:10). Avail themselves of their services as slaves.

_ _ them also — the Chaldees, who heretofore have made other nations their slaves, shall themselves also in their turn be slaves to them. Maurer translates, “shall impose servitude on them, even them.

_ _ recompense them — namely, the Chaldees and other nations against whom Jeremiah had prophesied (Jeremiah 25:13), as having oppressed the Jews.

_ _ their deeds — rather, “deed,” namely, their bad treatment of the Jews (Jeremiah 50:29; Jeremiah 51:6, Jeremiah 51:24; compare 2 Chronicles 36:17).
