1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 "And you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: 'An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. 3 'Now the end is upon you, for I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you. 4 'And My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!' 5 "This is what the Lord GOD says: 'A disaster, a unique disaster, behold, it is coming! 6 'An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come! 7 'Your doom has come to you, you inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near—panic rather than joyful shouting on the mountains. 8 'Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and expend My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations. 9 'My eye will have no pity nor will I spare you. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, am striking. 10 'Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

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.
