Contextual Overview

10Go up among her vineyard terraces and destroy them,but do not finish them off.Prune away her shoots,for they do not belong to the Lord. 11They, the house of Israel and the house of Judah,have dealt very treacherously with me. 12They have contradicted the Lordand insisted, “It won’t happen.Harm won’t come to us;we won’t see sword or famine.” 13The prophets become only wind,for the Lord’s word is not in them.This will in fact happen to them. 14Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Armies says: 15I am about to bring a nationfrom far away against you,house of Israel. 16Their quiver is like an open grave;they are all warriors.17They will consume your harvest and your food.They will consume your sons and your daughters.They will consume your flocks and your herds.They will consume your vines and your fig trees.With the sword they will destroyyour fortified cities in which you trust. 18“But even in those days”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“I will not finish you off. 19When people ask, ‘For what offense has the Lord our God done all these things to us?’ You will respond to them, ‘Just as you abandoned me and served foreign gods in your land, so will you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Their quiver is an open sepulchre,.... The Chaldeans used bows and arrows in fighting; and the quiver is a case for arrows; and the phrase denotes, that their arrows would do great execution, and be very mortal; so that a quiver of them would be as devouring as an open grave, into which many dead are cast. The Septuagint and Arabic versions have not this clause; and the Syriac version renders it, "whose throats are as open sepulchres"; see Romans 3:13:

they are all mighty men; strong in body, of bold and courageous spirits, expert in war, and ever victorious; so that there was no hope of being delivered out of their hands.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Their quiver - See Jeremiah 4:29, note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 5:16. Their quiver is an open sepulchre — They are such exact archers as never to miss their mark; every arrow is sure to slay one man.
