    who had already died,
are happier than the living,
    who are still alive.^(B)

⁹ Those killed by the sword are better off
    than those who die of famine;^(A)
racked with hunger, they waste away
    for lack of food from the field.^(B)

57 The righteous perish,^(A)
    and no one takes it to heart;^(B)
the devout are taken away,
    and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
    to be spared from evil.^(C)
