Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - Set up the standard. The "standard" was a tall pole with a flag, pointing in the direction of Zion, for the guidance of fugitives. Retire, stay not; rather, save your goods by flight; linger not. The former verb occurs again in the same sense in Exodus 9:19; Isaiah 10:31. From the north. The expression suits either the Scythians or the Chaldeans (see on Jeremiah 1:14).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Set up the standard toward Zion.--Still the language of alarm. The words are as a command, "Raise the signal which shall point to Zion as a place of refuge from the foe, by whom the rest of the country is laid waste."Retire.--Withdraw, in the transitive sense, "gather, with a view to removing" (as in Exodus 9:19), and this is followed by "stay not," linger not, be quick. The call to retreat was urgent.I will bring.--Literally, I am bringing.From the north.--The Chaldaean, and possibly the Scythian, invasion, as in Jeremiah 1:14.
