'By the Sword' in the Bible

“He does not believe that he will return out of the darkness [for fear of being murdered],And he is destined for the sword [of God’s vengeance].

then be afraid of the sword,because wrath brings punishment by the sword,so that you may know there is a judgment.

If he has many children, their destiny is to die by the sword, and his descendants won't have enough food.

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
