Jerome

SIX BOOKS ON JEREMIAH 5:14 (420)

The pouring out of the cup—and that a cup of pure or unmixed wine (which is called akratos in Greek)—is a sign of the Lord's wrath so that all the nations who have waged war against the people of God will drink from the cup of the wrath of the Lord. Also, Isaiah writes concerning this cup against Jerusalem, "You have drunk and emptied the drinking cup of wrath, the cup of destruction; therefore, arise!" But that cup is being drunk by all nations so that they can vomit and be maddened.

Then took I the cup - Not actually offering the wine-cup - Holy Scripture has suffered much from this materialistic way of explaining it: but publicly proclaiming this prophecy in Jerusalem, as the central spot of God’s dealings with men, and leaving it to find its way to the neighboring states.
