# In the open sight of others, he kills them for their wicked deeds like criminals "He kills them for their wicked deeds, in the open sight of others as if they were criminals" # In the open sight of others "In a place where everyone can see" # he kills them "he causes them to die". This speaks of God causing these people to die, though he does not actually strike them with a sword himself. He may cause someone else to kill them or disaster to come upon them.
