Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, behold, I will punish them,..... Or, visit "them" r; look into this matter, try this cause, bring it to an issue, and pass sentence on them; which is as follows:

the young men shall die by the sword; by the sword of the Chaldeans, in the field, going out in battle against them; or rather when their town was taken and plundered, since they were the sons of priests:

their sons and their daughters shall die by famine; that is, their little ones, male and female; so that the famine, it seems, was not only in Jerusalem at the time of its siege, but in other parts also: no mention is made of the parents themselves.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The young men - i. e., those of the legal age for military service.
