Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 31:8

"Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall they return hither." — Jeremiah 31:8 (ASV)

The coasts of the earth - See the note on Jeremiah 6:22.

Thither - Really, here. Not to the north country, but to Palestine, where Jeremiah wrote. "Company" is the word constantly used for Israel at the Exodus (Exodus 16:3) as an organized community.
