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
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people,.... The people of the Jews; the evil of punishment, for the evil of sin committed by them; wherefore the earth, and the inhabitants of it, are called upon to bear witness to, the righteousness of such a procedure:
even the fruit of their thoughts; which they thought of, contrived, and devised; which shows that they did not do what they did inadvertently, but with thought and design. Kimchi interprets it of sinful deeds and actions, the fruit of thoughts; but his father, of thoughts themselves. The Talmudists, y comment upon it thus,
"a thought which brings forth fruit, the holy blessed God joins it to an action; but a thought in which there is no fruit, the holy blessed God does not join to action;''
that is, in punishment; very wrongly. For the sense is, that God would bring upon them the calamities and distresses their thoughts and the evil counsels of their minds deserved. The Targum renders it,
"the retribution or reward of their works.''
Because they have not hearkened unto my words; spoken to them by the prophets:
nor to my law, but rejected it; neither hearkened to the law, nor to the prophets, but despised both. The Targum is,
"because they obeyed not the words of my servants, the prophets, and abhorred my law.''
y T. Bab. Kiddushin, fol. 40. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The fathers understood this to be the decree rejecting the Jews from being the Church.
