Jeremiah 4
When the Lord speaks of the tribes of Israel coming from the north countries he may not be talking as far north as we often think. I have heard speculation that this must mean Russia or some other country that is as far north as is inhabited. While that would be a fulfillment I think that anything north of Jerusalem would qualify as a fulfillment. Some examples include Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Armenia, Georgia, Jordan, Bulgaria, Romania, or Iran (those are 10 of the nearest countries that run north of Jerusalem/Israel even as they also set to the east or west of Israel.
I get the feeling that the people of Jerusalem at the time of Jeremiah were more wicked than soften suppose.
