The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 6:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Go not forth into the field. The "daughter of Zion" (i.e. the personific population of Jerusalem) is cautioned against venturing outside the walls. The sword of the enemy; rather, the enemy hath a sword.

Fear is on every side; Hebrew, magor missabib; one of Jeremiah's favorite expressions (see Jeremiah 20:3, Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 46:5; Jeremiah 49:29; and comp. Psalms 31:13 (14).). Naturally of a timid, retiring character, the prophet cannot help feeling the anxious and alarming situation into which at the Divine command he has ventured.
