Contextual Overview
18Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, || That which [is] on them. 19Hear, O earth, behold, I am bringing evil on this people, || The fruit of their plans, || For they gave no attention to My words, || And My law—they kick against it. 20Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, || And the sweet cane from a far-off land, || Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, || And your sacrifices have not been sweet to Me." 21Therefore, thus said YHWH: "Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, || And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, || The neighbor and his friend perish." 22Thus said YHWH: "Behold, a people has come from a north country, || And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the earth.23They take hold of bow and javelin, || It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, || Their voice sounds as a sea, || And they ride on horses, || Set in array as a man of war, || Against you, O daughter of Zion." 24We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, || Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman. 25Do not go forth to the field, || And do not walk in the way, || For the enemy has a sword, || Fear [is] all around. 26O daughter of my people, || Gird on sackcloth, || And roll yourself in ashes, || Make mourning [as for] an only one, || A most bitter lamentation, || For the spoiler suddenly comes against us. 27"I have given you a watchtower, || A fortress among My people, || And you know, and have tried their way.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord, behold, a people cometh from the north country,.... The Assyrians from Babylon, which lay north of Judea, as in Jeremiah 1:14:
and a great nation shall be raised; that is, by the Lord, who would stir them up to this undertaking. The Targum is,
"many people shall come openly:''
from the sides of the earth; afar off, as Babylon was, Jeremiah 5:15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Raised - Or, awakened, to undertake distant expeditions.
The sides of the earth - Or ends, the most distant regions (see Jeremiah 25:32).
