Exegesis
The dual construct miqtzeh ha-shamayim {מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמָיִם | miqṣēh haš-šā-mā-yim} ‘from the end of the heavens’ functions as poetic hyperbole denoting remotest points, balancing terrestrial and cosmic domains.
In context — Isaiah 13:5
They come from a distant land, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the instruments of His indignation, to destroy all the land.
