Contextual Overview
18Therefore listen, you nationsand you witnesses,learn what the charge is against them.19Listen, earth!I am about to bring disaster on these people,the fruit of their own plotting,for they have paid no attention to my words.They have rejected my instruction. 20What use to me is frankincense from Shebaor sweet cane from a distant land?Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;your sacrifices do not please me. 21Therefore, this is what the Lord says:I am going to place stumbling blocks before these people;fathers and sons together will stumble over them;friends and neighbors will also perish. 22This is what the Lord says: 23They grasp bow and javelin.They are cruel and show no mercy.Their voice roars like the sea,and they ride on horses,lined up like men in battle formationagainst you, Daughter Zion. 24We have heard about it,and our hands have become weak.Distress has seized us—pain, like a woman in labor. 25Don’t go out to the fields;don’t walk on the road.For the enemy has a sword;terror is on every side. 26My dear people, dress yourselves in sackclothand roll in the dust.Mourn as you would for an only son,a bitter lament,for suddenly the destroyer will come on us. 27I have appointed you to be an assayer among my people—a refiner—so you may know and assay their way of life.

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, âwhat happensâ in them; i. e., âKnow what great things I will do to them.â
