Literal Fulfillment

While the imagery is vivid, the "wine cup of fury" is a common biblical metaphor for divine judgment, which may be fulfilled through various means, not necessarily a literal cup or drink.

The verse describes a command given to Jeremiah and the action he is to take, but it does not explicitly detail the method by which "the Lord God of Israel" communicated this command to him. The phrase "thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me" indicates communication occurred, but not the specific method of that communication.
