Jeremiah 6:22

Now the prophet is showing what these destructive stumbling-blocks shall be, of which he had prophesied forty years already, and yet they would not be warned. The north country: see Jeremiah 6:1. A great nation shall be raised; God shall stir up the Chaldeans like a great storm or tempest, Jeremiah 1:15, Jeremiah 25:32. See Ezekiel 23:22. From the sides of the earth; the remote and uttermost parts of the Babylonian territories, though at the greatest distance, yet God will bring them: which may note the greatness of God's displeasure against Judah, this circumstance being noted among the curses, Deuteronomy 28:49. See Isaiah 5:25,26, &c.; Jeremiah 5:15.
