Contextual Overview

18 So hear, you nations; know, you assembly, what there is against them. 19 Hear, oh earth! I am going to bring disaster on this people; it is the consequence of their own way of thinking; for they pay no attention to my words; and as for my Torah, they reject it. 20 What do I care about incense from Sh'va or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are unacceptable, your sacrifices don't please me." 21 Therefore thus says Adonai : "I will put obstacles in the way of this people that they will stumble over — fathers and sons, neighbors and friends, all will perish together." 22 Here is what Adonai says: "A people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation will be aroused from the ends of the earth. 23 They will take hold of bow and spear; they are cruel; they have no compassion: their noise as they ride on horses is like the roaring sea; and they are equipped for battle against you, daughter of Tziyon. 24 ‘We have heard the news, and our hands fall limp; anguish has seized us, pain like a mother's in childbirth.'" 25 Don't go into the countryside, don't walk out on the road; for the sword of the enemy is spreading terror in every direction. 26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth, roll in ashes, mourn as if for an only son, wail most bitterly; for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us. 27 "I have made you a refiner and tester of my people, to know and test how they behave.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore hear, ye nations,.... Since the Jews refused to hearken to the word of the Lord, the Gentiles are called upon to hear it, as in Acts 13:45, this is a rebuke to the Jews, that the Gentiles would hear, when they would not:

and know, O congregation; either of Israel, as the Targum and Kimchi explain it; or of the nations of the world, the multitude of them; or the church of God in the midst of them:

what is among them; among the Jews: either what evil is among them; what sins and transgressions are committed by them; which were the cause of the Lord's threatening them with sore judgments, and bringing them upon them; so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret the words; to which agrees the Targum,

"and let the congregation of Israel know their sins;''

or the punishments the Lord inflicted on them: so the Vulgate Latin version, "and know, O congregation, what I will do unto them"; which sense is confirmed by what follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

God summons three witnesses to hear His sentence.

(1) the Gentiles.

(2) all mankind, Jews and Gentiles.

(3) nature (see Jeremiah 6:19).

What is among them - Rather, “what happens” in them; i. e., “Know what great things I will do to them.”
