NIVNew International Version (2011)

I will send wasting famine against them,

consuming pestilence and deadly plague;

I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,

the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.

In the street the sword will make them childless;

in their homes terror will reign.

The young men and young women will perish,

the infants and those with gray hair.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They will be weak from hunger,

ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;

I will unleash on them wild beasts with fangs,

as well as venomous snakes that slither in the dust.

Outside, the sword will take their children,

and inside, there will be terror;

the young man and the young woman will be killed,

the infant and the gray-haired man.

NLTNew Living Translation

I will weaken them with famine,

burning fever, and deadly disease.

I will send the fangs of wild beasts

and poisonous snakes that glide in the dust.

Outside, the sword will bring death,

and inside, terror will strike

both young men and young women,

both infants and the aged.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They will become weakened by famine,

and consumed by plague and bitter pestilence;

and the teeth of wild animals I will send against them,

with the poison of the creeping things in the dust;

From outside her boundaries the sword will make her childless,

and from inside, terror;

both for the young man and also the young woman,

the infant along with the gray-headed man.

KJV 1900King James Version

They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat,

And with bitter destruction:

I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,

With the poison of serpents of the dust.

The sword without,

And terror within, shall destroy

Both the young man and the virgin,

The suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
