World English Bible Public Domain
They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface 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 sky, and for the animals of the earth.

King James Version Public Domain
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 deaths of diseases. They shall not be lamented and they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the ground and by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed, and their corpses shall be food for the bird of the skies and for the beast of the earth.”
