Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 6:25

25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

Expressing the great danger, that there would be every where, there would be no stirring out of their fenced Cities, or Houses, chap. 8.14. but great danger to them that go out, and to those that come in, they would find death every where, now seek out some by-ways, venture not in common Roads, Iudg. 5.6.

The language of one speaking to another it seems to be a proverbial speech frequently used to express unavoidable dangers, Psal. 31.13. chap. 20.3, 10. and 49.29. All places will be full of Soldiers, so that all attempts will be very difficult, Lam. 5.9.
