Commentators explain that "peaceable folds" refers to pastures and homes that were once tranquil and safe. John Calvin notes the term is used ironically. The people had mistaken God's past patience for permanent security, living complacently despite their sin. The verse shows that this false sense of peace will be violently silenced by God's judgment.
