John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 11:8

"Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 11:8 (ASV)

You have feared the sword Of the Chaldeans; and therefore they sent to the Egyptians for help. The Targum is, ``you have been afraid of them that kill with the sword;'' and not afraid of the Lord; see (Matthew 10:28) ; and I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord God ; or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; meaning the Chaldeans, who were sent by the Lord, and, when they took the city, put many to death by the sword, and carried captive others.
