# Jeremiah 25 General Notes #
#### Structure and formatting ####
Some translations prefer to set apart quotations. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 25:30-38, which is an extended quotation.
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
##### Seventy years #####
Babylon will rule over Judah for seventy years. Because Yahweh is just, he will soon punish Babylon for their evil actions. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil]])
#### Important figures of speech in this chapter ####
##### Idiom #####
Jeremiah uses the idiom of drinking the cup of wine of God's punishment to say that Babylon will destroy all the surrounding nations and then be destroyed. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
