Contextual Overview
10 "Go along the rows of Judah's grapevines. Cut down the vines. (But don't completely destroy them.) Cut off all their branches, because they don't belong to the Lord . 11 The family of Israel and the family of Judah have been unfaithful to me in every way." This message is from the Lord . 12 "Those people lied about the Lord . They said, ‘He will not do anything to us. Nothing bad will happen to us. We will never see an army attack us. We will never starve.' 13 The prophets are only empty wind. The word of God is not in them. Bad things will happen to them." 14 The Lord God All-Powerful said these things: "The people said I would not punish them. So, Jeremiah, the words I give you will be like fire, and these people will be like wood. That fire will burn them up completely." 15 Family of Israel, this message is from the Lord . "I will soon bring a nation from far away to attack you. It is an old nation; it is an ancient nation. The people of that nation speak a language that you do not know. You cannot understand what they say. 16 Their arrow bags are like open graves. All their men are strong soldiers. 17 They will eat all the crops that you gathered. They will eat all your food. They will destroy your sons and daughters. They will eat your flocks and your herds. They will eat your grapes and your figs. They will destroy your strong cities with their swords. They will destroy the strong cities that you trust in." 18 This message is from the Lord : "But, Judah, when these terrible days come, I will not fully destroy you. 19 The people of Judah will ask you, ‘Jeremiah, why has the Lord our God done this bad thing to us?' Give them this answer: ‘You people of Judah have left me, and you have served foreign idols in your own land. You did these things, so now you will serve foreigners in a land that does not belong to you.'

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.
