Jeremiah 25:9
_ _ the north — (see on Jeremiah 1:14, Jeremiah 1:15). The Medes and other northern peoples, confederate with Babylon, are included with the Chaldeans.
_ _ my servant — My agent for punishing (Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10; compare Jeremiah 40:2). Compare Isaiah 44:28; Cyrus, “My shepherd.” God makes even unbelievers unconsciously to fulfil His designs. A reproof to the Jews, who boasted that they were the servants of God; yet a heathen king is to be more the servant of God than they, and that as the agent of their punishment. |
