De som dödades av svärd fick ett bättre öde än dessa som dör av svält, för de tynar bort, drabbade av brist på åkerns gröda.
SKB
De som blir slagna med svärd [beskriver en snabb död] är bättre än de som blir slagna med hunger [beskriver ett långsamt döende], för dessa tynar bort, genomborras av smärta i längtan efter fältets frukt.

Paradoxalt nog kan bokstaven symbolisera både ont och gott – antingen rebelliskhet eller godhet. I den här versen börjar ordet ”är bättre” med denna bokstav.]
