Contextual Overview
10"Go up through her vine rows and make them a ruin,But do not make a complete destruction;Remove her branches,For they are not Yahweh's. 11For the house of Israel and the house of JudahHave dealt very treacherously with Me," declares Yahweh. 12They have dealt falsely about YahwehAnd said, "Not He;Calamity will not come on us,And we will not see sword or famine. 13The prophets are as wind,And the word is not in them.Thus it will be done to them!" 14Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts,"Because you have spoken this word,Behold, I am making My words in your mouth fireAnd this people wood, and it will devour them. 15Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel," declares Yahweh."It is an enduring nation;It is an ancient nation,A nation whose tongue you do not know,Nor can you understand what they say. 16Their quiver is like an open grave;All of them are mighty men. 17They will devour your harvest and your food;They will devour your sons and your daughters;They will devour your flocks and your herds;They will devour your vines and your fig trees;They will demolish with the sword your fortified cities in which you trust. 18"Yet even in those days," declares Yahweh, "I will not make you a complete destruction. 19It shall come about when they say, ‘Why has Yahweh our God done all these things to us?' then you shall say to them, ‘As you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will 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.
