This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far - the invasion of the Romans - “they came from far.” The soldiers of the invading army were taken from France, Spain, and Britain - then considered “the end of the earth.” Julius Severus, the commander, afterwards Vespasian and Hadrian, left Britain for the scene of contest. Moreover, the ensign on the standards of the Roman army was “an eagle”; and the dialects spoken by the soldiers of the different nations that composed that army were altogether unintelligible to the Jews.
