Contextual Overview
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth: look, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they haven't listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. 20 To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me. 21 Therefore thus says Yahweh, Look, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish. 22 Thus says Yahweh, Look, a people comes from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 23 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Zion. 24 We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail. 25 Don't go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, [and] terror, are on every side. 26 O daughter of my people, gird with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes: make mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us. 27 Among my people, I have made you as a trier [of metals], as a fortress you will examine and try their way.

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, “what happens” in them; i. e., “Know what great things I will do to them.”
