Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 6:22

"Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth." — Jeremiah 6:22 (ASV)

From the north country ... — The words point, as in Jeremiah 1:13-15, to the Chaldean, perhaps, also, to the Scythian, invasion. So the "north quarters" are used in Ezekiel 38:6; Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2 of the home of Gog as the representative of the Scythian tribes.

Shall be raised. — Literally, shall be roused, or awakened.

The sides of the earth. — That is, its ends, or far-off regions.
