New American Standard Bible Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field.
King James Bible They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
