Lamentations 4:9

MSG

NIV

9 Better to have been killed in battle than killed by starvation. Better to have died of battle wounds than to slowly starve to death.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off than those who die of famine; racked with hunger, they waste away for lack of food from the field.
