'Die' in the Bible

(Lamed) Children say to their mothers, "Where are food and drink?" They faint like a wounded warrior in the city squares. They die slowly in their mothers' arms.

Water flooded over my head,and I thought: I’m going to die!

Those who die by the sword are better off than those who die from starvation, who slowly waste away like those pierced through for lack of food from the fields.
