Commentary on Jeremiah 25:26

Theological / Devotional

Sheshach. Considered by some to be a cryptic name for Babylon, arrived at by a device known as atbash (see on ch. 51:1). When decoded the consonants sh-sh-k equal b-h-l, the Hebrew form of Babylon. Others think Sheshach may represent the Akkadian Shishku, a name for Babylon appearing in late royal lists.

Drink after them. After forcing the other nations to drink the cup of defeat, Babylon herself would in turn have the same experience.
