King James Bible
[They that be] slainwith the swordare betterthan [they that be] slainwith hunger:for thesepine away,strickenthrough for [want of] the fruitsof the field.International Standard Version
Those who die by the sword are better off than those who die from starvation, who slowly waste away like those pierced through for lack of food from the fields.

American Standard Version
They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.

Young's Literal Translation
Better have been the pierced of a sword Than the pierced of famine, For these flow away, pierced through, Without the increase of the field.Lamentations 4:9•Lamentations 4:9 NIV•Lamentations 4:9 NLT•Lamentations 4:9 ESV•Lamentations 4:9 NASB•Lamentations 4:9 KJV•Lamentations 4:9 Commentaries•Lamentations 4:9 Bible Apps•Lamentations 4:9 Biblia Paralela•Lamentations 4:9 Chinese Bible•Lamentations 4:9 French Bible•Lamentations 4:9 German Bible
