Jeremiah 16:15
They will say something new. They will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives—the Lord who brought the Israelites out of the northern land, who brought them out of all the countries where he had sent them ….' Why will they say that? Because I will bring the Israelites back to the land that I gave to their ancestors.

Contextual Overview
14 "People make promises and say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives—the Lord who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt ….' But the time is coming," says the Lord , "when people will not say that. 15 They will say something new. They will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives—the Lord who brought the Israelites out of the northern land, who brought them out of all the countries where he had sent them ….' Why will they say that? Because I will bring the Israelites back to the land that I gave to their ancestors. 16 "I will soon send for many fishermen to come to this land." This message is from the Lord . "They will catch the people of Judah. After that happens, I will send for many hunters to come to this land. They will hunt the people of Judah on every mountain and hill and in the cracks of the rocks. 17 I see everything they do. The people of Judah cannot hide the things they do. Their sin is not hidden from me. 18 I will pay the people of Judah back for the evil things they did—I will punish them two times for every sin. I will do this because they have made my land ‘dirty.' They made my land ‘dirty' with their terrible idols. I hate those idols, but they have filled my country with their idols." 19 Lord , you are my strength and my protection. You are a safe place to run to in time of trouble. The nations will come to you from all around the world. They will say, "Our fathers had false gods. They worshiped those worthless idols, but the idols did not help them. 20 Can people make real gods for themselves? No, they can only make statues that are not really gods." 21 "So I will teach those who make idols. Right now I will teach them about my power and my strength. Then they will know that I am God. They will know that I am the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the Lord liveth,.... Or they shall swear by the living Lord; or declare his power, as the Targum: "that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north"; that is, from Babylon, which lay north of Judea. The Jews d gather from hence, that the land of Israel was higher than all other lands, because it is said, that "brought up", or "caused to ascend"; as out of the land of Egypt as before, so out of all other lands. The meaning is, that the deliverance from the Babylonish captivity was a greater blessing and mercy than the deliverance out of Egypt; the hardships they endured in Babylon being in some respects greater than those they endured in Egypt; and especially the favour being recent, and fresh upon their mind, it would swallow up the remembrance of the former mercy; that would be comparatively forgotten, and not be so frequent and common in the mouths of men; so great would be the sense of this deliverance; wherefore this prophecy both expresses the grievousness of their captivity in Babylon, as exceeding their bondage in Egypt, and the greatness of their salvation from it; when they should be not only brought out of Babylon, but also
from all the lands whither he had driven them; from Egypt, Media, and Persia, and other places: or, "whither they were driven": by the kings of the earth, as Kimchi interprets it; though it is certain the Lord's hand was in it; it was according to his will, and by his providence, that they were scattered about among the nations:
and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers; which had its accomplishment at their return from the Babylonish captivity; and will be more fully accomplished in the latter day, when the Jews shalt be converted, and return to their own land. Kimchi says this refers to the days of the Messiah, and the gathering of the captives; and some following passages manifestly belong to Gospel times. So Jarchi and Abarbinel understand this and the following of the days of the Messiah.
d T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 87. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These two verses, by promising a deliverance greater than that from Egypt, implied also a chastisement more terrible than the bondage in the iron furnace there. Instead of their being placed in one land, there was to be a scattering into the north and many other countries, followed finally by a restoration.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 16:15. The land of the north — Chaldea: and their deliverance thence will be as remarkable as the deliverance of their fathers from the land of Egypt.
