^3 (A)I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and ^(B)the birds of the air ^(C)and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

²⁶ And ^(A)your dead body shall be food for all birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth, and ^(B)there shall be no one to frighten them away.

²² And ^(A)I will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that ^(B)your roads shall be deserted.

¹⁶ then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with ^(A)wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And ^(B)you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

²⁵ And ^(A)I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, ^(B)I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

⁸ And I looked, and behold, ^(A)a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill ^(B)with sword and with famine and with pestilence and ^(C)by wild beasts of the earth.

²¹ “For thus says the Lord God: How much more ^(A)when I send upon Jerusalem my four disastrous acts of judgment, ^(B)sword, ^(C)famine, ^(D)wild beasts, and ^(E)pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!

^33 (A)And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, ^(B)and none will frighten them away.

²³ And of Jezebel the Lord also said, ^(A)‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel within ^(B)the walls of Jezreel.’ ^24 (C)Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat.”
