The time has come, a day of trouble [is] near, || And not the shouting of mountains. 8Now shortly I pour out My fury on you, || And have completed My anger against you, || And judged you according to your ways, || And set all your abominations against you. 9And My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, || I give to you according to your ways, || And your abominations are in your midst, || And you have known that [it is] I, YHWH, striking. 10Behold, the day, behold, it has come, || The circlet has gone forth, || The rod has blossomed, the pride has flourished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The sword [is] without,.... Without the city, where the enemy was besieging; so that those that went without, in order to make their escapes fell into their hands:
and the pestilence and the famine within; within the city; so that such who thought themselves safe in their own houses died by those judgments:
he that [is] in the field shall die by the sword; by the hands of the Chaldeans:
and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him; and he shall die by the hand of God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 7:15. The sword is without — War through all the country, and pestilence and famine within the city, shall destroy the whole, except a small remnant. He who endeavours to flee from the one shall fall by the other.
