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.
