Espada contra los impostores, y se volverán necios. Espada contra sus valientes, y serán destrozados.
Cuchillo sobre los adivinos, y se atontarn; cuchillo sobre sus valientes, y sern quebrantados.
Espada sobre los engaadores, y se atontarn; espada sobre sus valientes, y sern quebrantados.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
A sword [is] upon the liars,.... Some render it "bars" m, as the word sometimes signifies; and interpret it of great men, who are the strength and security of cities and commonwealths; but these are mentioned both before and after. The Targum renders it "diviners"; and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it n; of which there were many among the Chaldeans, who were a lying set of men, who imposed upon and deceived the people; these with their divinations and soothsayings could not save the land, nor themselves, from the devouring sword; nay, their sorceries and divinations were the cause of the ruin of it; see
Isaiah 47:9;
and they shall dote; or, that they may "become foolish" o; be infatuated, and act a mad part, and be at their wits' end; not knowing what course to take for their own safety, and much less be able to give direction and advice to others:
a sword [is] upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed; the soldiers and their officers, the most valiant and courageous of them; these would be in the utmost fright and consternation at the approach of the enemy; especially when they perceived the city taken, and the carnage made of the king and his nobles.
