Exegesis
The participle mashchitim {מַשְׁחִתִ֖ים | maš-ḥi-tîm} identifies the agents of destruction, and the expression ISH ve-khelav {אִ֣ישׁ וְכֵלָיו | ʾîš wə-ḵê-lāw} underscores their individual armament.
In context — Jeremiah 22:7
I will set apart against you destroyers, each man with his weapons; and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars , and cast them into the fire.
