مَرَاثِي إِرْمِيَا 4:9

كَانَتْ قَتْلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ خَيْرًا مِنْ قَتْلَى ٱلْجُوعِ. لِأَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَذُوبُونَ مَطْعُونِينَ لِعَدَمِ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

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.
