Parallel
Lamentations 4:9
Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible
טוֹבִ֤ים הָיוּ֙ חַלְלֵי־ חֶ֔רֶב מֵֽחַלְלֵ֖י רָעָ֑ב שֶׁ֣הֵ֤ם יָז֙וּבוּ֙ מְדֻקָּרִ֔ים מִתְּנוּבֹ֖ת שָׂדָֽי׃ס
Those slain by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, who waste away, pierced with pain because the fields lack produce.
