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.

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.

Better are those pierced of a sword, Than those pierced of hunger. They flow away pierced through, Without the produce of my fields.

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.
