Anyone staying in this city will be killed by sword, famine, and plague
"I will kill anyone staying in this city with sword, famine, and plague"
His life will be his loot
"He will not die, but he will lose all his possessions". The word "loot" refers to something taken away from Jerusalem after the Babylonians conquer it. The Babylonians would take physical objects, but the Judeans who surrendered would not die, they would take no physical objects with them. See Jeremiah 21:9.
