Exegesis
Next, wə-nāphlû {וְנָֽפְלוּ | wə-nāphlû} “and they will fall” expresses the result, followed by the spatial phrase bə-ḥereḇ ’ōyəḇê-hem {בְּחֶרֶב אֹיְבֵיהֶם | bə-ḥereḇ ʾōyəḇêhem} “by the sword of their enemies.”
In context — Jeremiah 20:4
For thus says the LORD , “Behold, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends ; and they will fall by the sword of their enemies as you watch. All of Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will exile them to Babylon and strike them down with the sword.”
