CEB
Look! In a short time provisions will be so cheap on earth that people will think that peace has been established for them, but then disasters will blossom all over the earth—the sword and famine.
NRSVA
For many of those who live on the earth shall perish by famine; and those who survive the famine shall die by the sword.
NRSVUE
Indeed, provisions will be so cheap upon earth that people will imagine that peace is assured for them, and then calamities shall spring up on the earth—the sword, famine, and great confusion.
RSV
For many of those who live on the earth shall perish by famine; and those who survive the famine shall die by the sword.
