And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,
and they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
