Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore deliver up their children to the famine,.... To be starved, and perish by it, as they were in the siege of Jerusalem, both by the Chaldeans, and the Romans:

and pour out their [blood] by the force of the sword: or, "upon the hands of the sword" f; by means of it; that is, the blood of the parents of the children; let the one perish by famine, and the other by the sword; which, when thrust into a man, blood gushes out, and runs upon the sword to the handle of it:

and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and [be] widows; let them have neither husbands nor children; which latter might be a comfort to them, when they had lost their husbands; but being stripped of these also, the affliction and distress must be the greater:

and let their men be put to death; or "slain with death" g; with the pestilence, as Kimchi rightly interprets it; see Revelation 6:8; Jarchi understands it of the angel of death; see Hebrews 2:14;

[let] their young men [be] slain by the sword in battle; such being commonly employed in military service, as being the most proper persons for it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Pour out ... sword - literally, “pour them out upon the hands of the sword, i. e., give them up to the sword.”

Put to death - Rather, slain of death. The prophet’s phrase leaves it entirely indefinite in what way the men are to die.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 18:21. Therefore deliver up their children — The execrations in these verses should be considered as simply prophetic declarations of the judgments which God was about to pour out on them.

If we consider them in their grammatical meaning, then they are not directions to us, to whom our Lawgiver has said, "Love your enemies."
