Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 5:16

16 Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

Collectively expressed for quivers; a Synecdoche for the whole military preparations▪ and a Metonymy of the containing for the contained, viz. the arrowes, that will be shot out of them, called the sons of the Quiver, La[illegible: 1 letter]. 3.13. Bow and Arrow being the chief weapons for War in those Countries, and in those dayes.

A proverbial spe[illegible: 2 letters]h, Psal. 5.9. relating to the dreadful havock, and destruction, that will be made devouring the living, as the grave doth the dead, or making work for the greedy devouring grave, that never saith it hath enough Prov. 1.12. Or, they shall destroy many with one quiver, as one grave will swallow many dead, which may note their skill, and the success they shall have, few of their Arrows shall fail of doing execution.

These Chaldeans are all men of valour fit for warriours.
