Even youths get tired and weary; even strong young men clumsily stumble.

就是少年人也要疲乏困倦；强壮的也必全然跌倒。

就是年轻人也要疲乏困倦，强壮的也必全然跌倒。

就是年轻人也要疲乏困倦，强壮的也必全然跌倒。

即使青年也会疲乏困倦，强壮的人也会踉跄跌倒；

就是年轻人也会疲乏困倦，强壮的人也会全然跌倒。

少年人也会疲倦困乏，青年人也会全然绊倒，

就是少年人也要疲乏困倦；強壯的也必全然跌倒。

就是年輕人也要疲乏困倦，強壯的也必全然跌倒。

就是年輕人也要疲乏困倦，強壯的也必全然跌倒。

即使青年也會疲乏困倦，強壯的人也會踉蹌跌倒；

就是少年人也會疲乏困倦，強壯人也會力盡而倒地；

少年人也會疲倦困乏，青年人也會全然絆倒，

少者必疲倦、壯者必顚躓、

壯者必倦怠、少者必顛躓、

少者不免疲倦困乏、壯者不免躓蹶顛仆、

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

Even young people become worn out and get tired. Even the best of them trip and fall.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;

Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.

Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall,

Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly,

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Youths may faint and grow weary, and young men stumble and fall,

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;

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

No king is delivered by his vast army; a warrior is not saved by his great might.

Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, they will not look with pity on children.

Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

So the sovereign master was not pleased with their young men, he took no pity on their orphans and widows; for the whole nation was godless and did wicked things, every mouth was speaking disgraceful words. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.

Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge– for time and chance may overcome them all.

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

I am as full of anger as you are, LORD, I am tired of trying to hold it in.” The LORD answered,“ Vent it, then, on the children who play in the street and on the young men who are gathered together. Husbands and wives are to be included, as well as the old and those who are advanced in years.

‘ Death has climbed in through our windows. It has entered into our fortified houses. It has taken away our children who play in the streets. It has taken away our young men who gather in the city squares.’
