In the Hebrew context, the word "ashpah" is used, which signifies a receptacle or container. Quivers being likened to "open graves" suggests an ominous and threatening presence. Historically, the quiver was an essential part of a warrior's equipment, symbolizing readiness for battle and the potential for destruction. In this verse, the quivers of the invaders are full, indicating an abundance of weaponry and a readiness to unleash death, much like an open grave is ready to receive the dead.<p><b>are like open graves</b><br />This phrase uses vivid imagery to convey the threat posed by the invaders. An "open grave" in ancient Near Eastern culture was a symbol of death and decay, a place of finality and hopelessness. The Hebrew word "qever" for grave emphasizes the inevitability of death. By comparing the quivers to open graves, the text underscores the lethal intent and the impending doom that these warriors bring. It serves as a stark warning of the consequences of Israel's unfaithfulness and the judgment that is to come.<p><b>they are all mighty warriors</b><br />The phrase "mighty warriors" translates the Hebrew "gibborim," which denotes strength, valor, and prowess in battle. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe heroes or champions, such as David's mighty men. The use of "all" emphasizes the collective strength and capability of the invading force. Historically, the Babylonians, who are likely the subject of this prophecy, were known for their military might and strategic prowess. This description serves to highlight the formidable nature of the threat facing Judah, underscoring the seriousness of the situation and the need for repentance and reliance on God for deliverance.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(16) <span class= "bld">An open sepulchre.</span>--Every arrow in the quivers of the Chaldaean bowmen was to be as a messenger of death, a blast or pestilence from the grave.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 16.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Their quiver</span>.
