"I solemnly swear". Yahweh uses this expression to show that what he says next is certainly true. This is a way of making a solemn promise. See Ezekiel 5:11.
the ones in the ruins will fall by the sword
"enemies will kill the ones living in the ruins"

"plagues will kill the people who live in fortresses and caves"
fortresses
A fortress is a building that people build to protect themselves from enemies who attack them.
