Exegesis
The opening clause, pesountai stomati machairēs {πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρης | pe-soûn-tai stó-ma-ti ma-khái-rēs} ‘they will fall by the sword,’ uses a future form to project the judgment as certain, while στόματι μαχαίρης is an idiom whose literal wording points to the blade’s edge rather than a mouth in English.
Root and etymology
stom-sigma tau omicron mu
“mouth, opening”
In context — Luke 21:24
And they will fall by the sword , and they will be taken captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
