Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

Jeremiah 16:4 · BBE

Translations

ASV

They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

BBE

Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

GRK

θελουσιν αποθανει με οδυνηρον θανατον· δεν θελουσι κλαυθη ουδε θελουσι ταφη· θελουσιν εισθαι δια κοπριαν επι το προσωπον της γης, και θελουσιν αφανισθη υπο μαχαιρας και υπο πεινης, και τα πτωματα αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι τροφη εις τα πετεινα του ουρανου και εις τα θηρια της γης.

KJV

They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

“They will die grievous deaths: they will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
