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
Go not forth into the field,.... Either for pleasure, or for business; to take a walk in it for the air, or to till it, plough, sow, or reap; but keep within the city and its walls, there being danger:
nor walk by the way; in the high road from Jerusalem, to any town or village near it:
for the sword of the enemy: or, "because there is a sword for the enemy" b; or, "the enemy has a sword"; and that drawn; the enemy is in the field, and in the ways, and there is no escaping him:
and fear is on every side; all round the city, being encompassed by the Assyrian army: or, the enemy's sword "is fear on every side" c; causes fear in all parts round the city. The Targum is,
"because the sword of the enemy kills those who are gathered round about;''
or on every side.
b ×× ××¨× ××××× "quoniam gladius est inimico", Munster, Vatablus, Junius Tremellius "quia (ibi) gladius (qui) hosti", Schmidt. c Gataker.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the sword of the enemy - literally, âfor to the enemy a sword; i. e., for the enemy is armed,â he has a commission from God to execute judgment. See Jeremiah 12:12; Isaiah 10:5, and Psalms 17:13 note.
Fear is on every side - Magor-Missabib, Jeremiahâs watchword (compare Jeremiah 20:3, Jeremiah 20:10). The âandâ before it should be omitted.
