Jeremías 5:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:16

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.

14 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos: Por cuanto han hablado esta palabra, he aquí, pongo mis palabras en tu boca por fuego y a este pueblo por leña, y los consumirá.
15 He aquí, voy a traer de lejos una nación contra vosotros, oh casa de Israeldeclara el SEÑOR. Es una nación fuerte, es una nación antigua, una nación cuya lengua no conoces, y no podrás entender lo que hable.
16 Su aljaba es como sepulcro abierto, todos ellos son valientes.
17 Devorará tu mies y tu pan, devorará a tus hijos y a tus hijas, devorará tus ovejas y tus vacas, devorará tus viñas y tus higueras; a espada destruirá tus ciudades fortificadas en que confías.
18 Sin embargo, aun en aquellos díasdeclara el SEÑORno llevaré a cabo una destrucción total de vosotros.
