Ezekiel 7:15

The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

KJV

Gladium foris, et pestis et fames intrinsecus : qui in agro est, gladio morietur, et qui in civitate, pestilentia et fame devorabuntur.

Vulgate

ὁ πόλεμος ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἔξωθεν, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς καὶ ὁ θάνατος ἔσωθεν· ὁ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει, τοὺς δ’ ἐν τῇ πόλει λιμὸς καὶ θάνατος συντελέσει.

LXX

The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
