Jeremiah 25:16 meaning and explanation

And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”

Jeremiah 25:16, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Drinking stands for receiving judgment; the staggering and madness picture people reeling under the terror of war, since the sword God sends is the invading army.
