The linked verse is about Jeremiah's criticism of Jehoiakim for not paying the construction workers who built his palace. He tricked them out of labor for his own unfair gain. The fox has a reputation for being "clever" (like Rabbi Akivah says on Berachot 61, "you are the one of whom they say, he is the cleverest of all animals?") by tricking others.
