Ezekiel 11:8

Ye have feared the sword ,.... Of the Chaldeans; and therefore they sent to the Egyptians for help. The Targum is,

"ye have been afraid of them that kill with the sword;'

and not afraid of the Lord; see Matthew 10:28 ;

and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God ; or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; meaning the Chaldeans, who were sent by the Lord, and, when they took the city, put many to death by the sword, and carried captive others.
