The call to see the approaching enemy: 'Look up and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted?' This verse calls attention to 'those coming from the north' (the invading army) and questions what has become of the flock (the people). The reference to boasting suggests previous confidence in security. Theologically, this verse invites reflection on the approaching judgment and the loss of what was boasted about.
