Jeremiah 25:23

²¹ Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

²² all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;

Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;

²⁴ all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;

²⁵ all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
