And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Such as are for death, to death - i:e., the deadly plague. Some he shall cause to die by the plague arising from insufficient or bad food, others by the sword; others he shall lead captive, according as God shall order it (Jeremiah 15:2, note).
