from far away, from the ends of the earth

These two phrases mean the same thing and emphasize that the enemy will come from a nation that is very far away from Israel. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet)

from the ends of the earth

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: "from places that you know nothing about" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom)

This means the enemy will come suddenly and the Israelites will not be able to stop them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile)
