Contextual Overview

15For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: "Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you; 16and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them." 17And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me: 18Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, || And its kings, its heads, || To give them to ruin, to astonishment, || To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day; 19Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, || And his heads, and all his people, 20And all the mixed people, || And all the kings of the land of Uz, || And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, || And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, || And the remnant of Ashdod, 21Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, 22And all the kings of Tyre, || And all the kings of Sidon, || And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,23Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, || And all cutting the corners [of the beard], 24And all the kings of Arabia, || And all the kings of the mixed people, || Who are dwelling in the wilderness,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon,.... Two very ancient cities in Phoenicia, frequently mentioned together in Scripture, being near each other. Their ruin is foretold in Jeremiah 47:4;

and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea; which some understand of Greece and Italy; others of Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete, and other islands in the Mediterranean sea; the Cyclades, as Jerom: but the words may be rendered, "and the kings of the country by the seaside"; and may design those that dwell upon the coast of the Mediterranean sea.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The isles - Rightly explained in the margin; it probably refers here to Cyprus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 25:22. Tyrus and - Zidon — The most ancient of all the cities of the Phoenicians.

Kings of the isles which are beyond the sea. — As the Mediterranean Sea is most probably meant, and the Phoenicians had numerous colonies on its coasts, I prefer the marginal reading, the kings of the region by the sea side.
