Leave the Bible alone, its perfect in english.

You may want to look up that word perish in a lexicon or concordance. It does not mean 'die' at all. It is the word 'abad,' and it means 'to wander away.' This is speaking of someone who has rejected God altogether, not someone who is on their deathbed.

Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Job 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Esther 7:4
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
Plenty more verses to plainly show "perish" is to die. (without a lexicon)
