Lamentations 4:9

Wycliffe WYC

9 It was better to men slain with sword, than to men slain with hunger; for these men waxed rotten, they were wasted of the barrenness of [the] earth. (It was better for those who were killed with the sword, than for those killed by hunger; for these people slowly grew rotten, and they wasted away for the barrenness of the land.)

New International Version NIV

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.
