Contextual Overview

15 The Lord God of Israel showed me a vision in which he said, "Jeremiah, here is a cup filled with the wine of my anger. Take it and make every nation drink some. 16 They will vomit and act crazy, because of the war this cup of anger will bring to them." 17 I took the cup from the Lord 's hand, and I went to the kings of the nations and made each of them drink some. 18 I started with Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, and the king and his officials were removed from power in disgrace. Everyone still makes insulting jokes about them and uses their names as curse words. 19 The second place I went was Egypt, where everyone had to drink from the cup, including the king and his officials, the other government workers, the rest of the Egyptians, 20 and all the foreigners who lived in the country. Next I went to the king of Uz, and then to the four kings of Philistia, who ruled from Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what was left of Ashdod. 21 Then I went to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, 22 and to the kings of Tyre, Sidon, and their colonies across the sea. 23After this, I went to the kings of Dedan, Tema, Buz, the tribes of the Arabian Desert, 25 Zimri, Elam, Media,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Zimri - Probably a district between Arabia and Persia. “Elam” is put in Scripture for the whole of Persia.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 25:25. Zimri — Descendants of Abraham, by Keturah, Genesis 25:2; Genesis 25:6.

Elam — Called Elymais by the Greeks, was on the south frontier of Media, to the north of Susiana, not far from Babylon.
