Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Those slain by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, who waste away, pierced with pain because the fields lack produce.
World English Bible (WEB)
Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
Strong's King James
They that be slain{H2491} with the sword{H2719} are better{H2896} than they that be slain{H2491} with hunger{H7458}: for these{H1992} pine away{H2100}{(H8799)}, stricken{H1856}{(H8794)} through for want of the fruits{H8570} of the field{H7704}.
The F.O.G *
Better are those pierced of a sword,
Than those pierced of hunger.
They flow away pierced through,
Without the produce of my fields.
The F.O.G Message *
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.
