Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty men escape,.... Those that were swift of foot, like Asahel, or carried but light armour, let not such trust to their swiftness or light carriage; nor let the mighty man think to escape by reason of his great strength, to make his way through the enemy, and get out of his hands. Or this may be rendered as future, "the swift shall not flee away", c. t so the Targum neither the one nor the other shall escape by the nimbleness of their heels, or the stoutness of their hearts:

they shall stumble and fall toward the north, by the river Euphrates; which lay north of Judea, where the prophet was, to whom this word came; and also was to the north of Egypt, whose destruction is here threatened: the place where this route and slaughter would be made was Carchemish, which was situated by that river; on the north side of which city, according to Abarbinel, the battle was; and which sense is mentioned by Kimchi, which the other follows.

t אל ינוס "non fugiet", Pagninus, Montanus; "non effugiet", Munster, Tigurine version.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Translate it: “The swift shall not flee away, and the hero shall not escape: in the north on the bank of the river Euphrates they shall stumble and fall.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 46:6. Let not the swift flee away — Even the swiftest shall not be able to escape.

They shall - fall toward the north — By the Euphrates, which was northward of Judea. Here the Egyptian army was routed with great slaughter.
