“Or if I bring a sword on that land and say, ‘Sword, go through the land,' so that I cut off from it man and beast, though these three men were in it, as I live says the Lord Yahweh, they will deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only will be delivered themselves.”

Again the idea is in mind of devastating judgment. This is no local raid but a raid by a huge army which totally devastates the land destroying man and beast. If it is the Lord's doing then there is no deliverance from it except for the truly righteous.
