The sword is on the outside
The word "sword" is a metonym for soldiers who kill people using swords. Alternate translation:
the building
the city
while famine and plague will consume those in the city
The word "consume" is a metaphor for "totally destroy." Alternate translation: "and most of the people in the city will die from hunger and sickness" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
