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
They are all grievous revolters,.... From the right way of God and his worship: or,
they are all revolters of revolters e; of all, the greatest revolters, the greatest sinners and transgressors, the most stubborn and disobedient; or sons of revolters; fathers and children are alike. The Targum, is,
"all their princes rebel;''
and so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions: "walking with slanders": of one another; or with deceit, as the Targum; in a hypocritical and fraudulent manner; playing the hypocrite with God, or tricking and deceiving their neighbours. They are "brass and iron"; as vile and mean as those metals, and not as gold and silver; or as hard and inflexible as they are; or they deal as insincerely
"as he that mixes brass with iron;''
so the Targum:
they are all corrupters; as such that mix metals are; they are corrupters of themselves and of others, of the doctrines and manners of men, and of the ways and worship of God.
