טוֹבִ֤ים הָיוּ֙ חַלְלֵי־חֶ֔רֶב מֵֽחַלְלֵ֖י רָעָ֑ב שֶׁ֣הֵ֤ם יָז֙וּבוּ֙ מְדֻקָּרִ֔ים מִתְּנוּבֹ֖ת שָׂדָֽי׃ (ס)
Diejenigen, die mit dem Schwert getötet werden, sind besser als diejenigen, die vor Hunger getötet werden. Für diese Kiefern weg, durchgestrichen, Aus Mangel an den Früchten des Feldes.
Aramaic Targum to Lamentations
Better were those who were slain by the sword than those who were slain by hunger, for those slain by the sword perished when pierced in their bellies because they ate of the gleanings of the field; and those who were bloated from hunger; their bellies burst from food.
