The word “look!” here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.

(Occurrence 0) impetuous

This could mean: (1) “violent” or (2) “hasty.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) the breadth of the land

This could mean: (1) everywhere in Judah or (2) everywhere in the world. This would be an exaggeration to emphasize how powerful the Chaldean army is.
