either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.

King James Version Public Domain
Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

whether three years famine or three months being swept away from the face of your adversaries and the sword of your enemies overtaking or three days the sword of Yahweh, even a plague in the land and the angel of Yahweh destroying in all of the border of Israel.’ And now, see, what word shall I return to the one having sent me?”
