What Does Jeremiah 4:15 Mean?
Dan, the northernmost city of Israel, hears the voice announcing calamity. This report spreads southward through Mount Ephraim (northern Judah). The geographical progression shows the invasion sweeping from north to south, with warning and devastation reaching each region in turn.
The voice 'publisheth affliction'—spreads the news of trouble and suffering. This is not rumor but confirmed reality as the Babylonian invasion advances through the land, with each region passing word of the disaster to the next.
