KJV ORIGINAL
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
A third of your people will die from disease and starvation right where you are. Another third will be killed by enemy swords all around you. And the last third? I'm scattering them to the winds across the world, and even then, I'll send armies chasing after them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's judgment was about to hit in three devastating waves — and there was nowhere to hide.
