Lamentations 4:9

YLT

NIV

9 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.
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.
