that day

This refers to the day the Babylonians break through the walls of Jerusalem to destroy the city.

this is Yahwehs declaration

See how you translated this in Jeremiah 1:7.

you will not be put into the hand of the men whom you fear

Here "hand" refers to power or control. AT: "the men you fear will not harm you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

You will not fall by the sword

AT: "No one will kill you with their sword" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism)

Your life will be your own plunder, since you trust in me

"Your reward for trusting me is not being killed"
