1 Chronicles 21:12

אוֹ שָׁלֹשׁ֩ שָׁנִ֨ים רָעָ֜ב אוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה חֳדָשִׁים֙ נִסְפֶּה לִפְנֵי צָרֶ֑יךָ וְחֶ֣רֶב אוֹיְבֶ֣יךָ לְמַשִּׂ֣יג אוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה יָמִ֡ים חֶ֣רֶב יְהוָ֤ה וְדֶ֙בֶר֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמַלְאַ֤ך יְהוָה֙ מַשְׁחִ֔ית בְּכָל גְּב֖וּל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל עַתָּה רְאֵ֗ה מָ֥ה אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת שֹׁלְחִ֖י דָּבָֽר׃

King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

either three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, pestilence on the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel. Now decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me.
