Contextual Overview
10 "Go along and cut down Judah's vineyards, but do not completely destroy them. Cut off all her people as if they were branches, because they do not belong to the Lord . 11 The families of Israel and Judah have been completely unfaithful to me," says the Lord . 12 Those people have lied about the Lord and said, "He will not do anything to us! Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never see war or hunger! 13 The prophets are like an empty wind; the word of God is not in them. Let the bad things they say happen to them." 14 So this is what the Lord God All-Powerful says: "The people said I would not punish them. So, the words I give you will be like fire, and these people will be like wood that it burns up. 15 Listen, family of Israel," says the Lord , "I will soon bring a nation from far away to attack you. It is an old nation that has lasted a long time. The people there speak a language you do not know; you cannot understand what they say. 16 Their arrows bring death. All their people are strong warriors. 17 They will eat your crops and your food. They will eat your sons and daughters. They will eat your flocks and herds. They will eat your grapes and figs. They will destroy with their swords the strong, walled cities you trust. 18 "Yet even then," says the Lord , "I will not destroy you completely. 19 When the people of Judah ask, ‘Why has the Lord our God done all these terrible things to us?' then give them this answer: ‘You have left the Lord and served foreign idols in your own land. So now you will serve foreigners in a land that does not belong to you.'

Reciprocal: Numbers 16:21 - Separate Jeremiah 6:23 - They shall Jeremiah 25:9 - I Micah 7:2 - they all
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.
