Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 4:15

15 For a voice declareth from Dan , and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.

i. e. Either the voice of the Prophets, that is still sounding it in your ears, and declaring it unto you, or rather, the rumour and noise of this Army is already come through your Land, you have the heavy tydings of this great affliction, chap. 8.16. to note the near approach of it.

This is said to come from Dan and Ephraim, because Dan was the first place these Chaldaeans must come to, it being the utmost boundary of Ca[illegible: 1 letter]aan Northward, and Ephraim the innermost border of Israel in the North of Iudea, intimating the march of the Babylonians through all Israel toward Ierusalem.
