The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.

Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.

Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;

Your fastest runners will not get away. The strongest among you will become weak. Even mighty warriors will be unable to save themselves.

Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not maintain his strength, and the warrior will not save his life.

Refuge will be lost from the swift, And the strong will not strengthen his power, Nor the warrior save his life.

Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, The strong shall not strengthen his power, Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;

And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not prevail by his strength, and the brave will not save his life.

Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

Fast runners will find no place to hide; strong men will have no strength left; warriors will not be able to save their lives.

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

耶和華這樣說：“智慧人不可誇耀自己的智慧，勇士不可誇耀自己的勇力，財主不可誇耀自己的財富。

君王不是因兵多得勝，勇士不是因力大得救。

我又看見在日光之下，跑得快的未必得獎，勇士未必戰勝，智慧的未必得糧食，精明的未必致富，博學的未必得人賞識，因為時機和際遇左右眾人。

我見主站在祭壇旁，他說：“擊打聖殿的柱頂，使門檻都震動。砍掉它們，落在眾人的頭上，剩下的人我必用刀殺死；沒有一個能逃走，沒有一人逃脫。如果他們下到陰間，就是在那裡，我的手必把他們揪上來；如果他們升到天上，就是在那裡，我必把他們拉下來；如果他們躲在迦密山頂，就是在那裡，我必搜尋他們，抓他們出來；如果他們要躲避我，藏在海底，就是在那裡，我必命令蛇去咬他們；

但惡人的眼目必昏花，逃亡之路也必斷絕，他們的指望就是最後的一口氣。”

你們卻說：“不！我們要騎馬奔跑。”所以你們真的要逃跑；你們又說：“我們要騎快馬。”所以那些追趕你們的，也必快速！一個敵人就可以威嚇你們一千個人，若五個敵人威嚇你們，你們都要逃跑了！以致你們所剩下的，必孤立如同山頂上的旗杆，岡陵上的旗幟。
