Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) That shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant.--Better, that shall avenge my covenant, that is, the sword, which shall avenge the breach of the Divine covenant; a war, which will devastate them because of their rebellion against the covenant God. Hence the Chaldee Versions render it, "that shall avenge on you the vengeance for that ye have transgressed against the words of the law."And when ye are gathered together within your cities.--When, completely defeated in the battlefield, the Israelites escape from the avenging sword into their fortified cities, they will then become a prey to pestilence, so that the surviving remnant will prefer to deliver themselves over into the hands of the relentless enemy.

Jeremiah 21:6-9; Ezekiel 5:12; Ezekiel 7:15.)Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd I will bringוְהֵבֵאתִ֨י (wə·hê·ḇê·ṯî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goa swordחֶ֗רֶב (ḥe·reḇ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordagainst youעֲלֵיכֶ֜ם (‘ă·lê·ḵem)Preposition | second person masculine pluralStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstto executeנֹקֶ֙מֶת֙ (nō·qe·meṯ)Verb - Qal - Participle - feminine singularStrong's 5358: To grudge, avenge, punishthe vengeanceנְקַם־ (nə·qam-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 5359: Vengeanceof the covenant.בְּרִ֔ית (bə·rîṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 1285: A covenantThough you withdrawוְנֶאֱסַפְתֶּ֖ם (wə·ne·’ĕ·sap̄·tem)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 622: To gather for, any purpose, to receive, take away, removeintoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toyour cities,עָרֵיכֶ֑ם (‘ā·rê·ḵem)Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 5892: ExcitementI will sendוְשִׁלַּ֤חְתִּי (wə·šil·laḥ·tî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outa pestilenceדֶ֙בֶר֙ (ḏe·ḇer)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1698: A pestilenceamong you,בְּת֣וֹכְכֶ֔ם (bə·ṯō·wḵ·ḵem)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 8432: A bisection, the centreand you will be deliveredוְנִתַּתֶּ֖ם (wə·nit·tat·tem)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 5414: To give, put, setinto the handבְּיַד־ (bə·yaḏ-)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handof the enemy.אוֹיֵֽב׃ (’ō·w·yêḇ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 341: Hating, an adversaryJump to PreviousAgreement Avenge Avengeth Breaking Cities Covenant Delivered Disease Effect Enemy Execute Executing Gather Gathered Hand Hands Haters Midst Pestilence Plague Punishment Quarrel Sword Together Towns Vengeance Withdraw Within
