ירמיהו, פרק כ״ה, פסוק כ״ב

A wave of judgment expands outward, touching various rulers and lands. The list of kings and nations detailed up to this moment represents the immediate neighbors surrounding the Land of Israel [רש״י]. The focus then shifts away from these familiar borders to the rulers of territories situated far across the sea.

This distant region is generally understood as a broad reference to a collection of faraway islands scattered across the ocean [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. However, this destination may also point to a very specific place: Carthage. The connection lies in the roots of the Carthaginian people, who originally migrated from the coastal cities of Tyre and Sidon, traveling across the sea to establish a new society far from their ancestral home [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
