He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.

他不喜悦马的力大，不喜爱人的腿快。

他不喜悦马的力大，不喜爱人的腿快。

他不喜悦马的力大，不喜爱人的腿快。

耶和华所喜悦的不是强健的马匹，也不是矫捷的战士，

他喜欢的不是马的力大，他喜悦的不是人的腿快。

他喜欢的不是马的力量，他喜悦的不是人的脚力——

他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。

他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。

他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。

耶和華所喜悅的不是強健的馬匹，也不是矯捷的戰士，

他喜歡的不是馬的力大，他喜悅的不是人的腿快。

他歡喜的不是馬之力大，他喜悅的不是人之腿快；

他喜歡的不是馬的力量，他喜悅的不是人的腳力——

不喜馬力、不悅人股兮、

維馬有力、人能疾趨、主不以為悅兮、

馬有大力、非主所悅、人能疾行、非主所喜、

戰馬徒有力。佳兵安足恃。戰馬與佳兵。皆非主所喜。

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;

He doesn’t take pleasure in the strength of horses. He doesn’t take delight in the strong legs of warriors.

His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,

He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; he does not value the power of a warrior.

He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power of a man.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

He is not enamored with the strength of a horse, nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs.

He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help, trusting their horses, chariots, and charioteers and depending on the strength of human armies instead of looking to the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.

But the Lord said to Samuel,“ Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.

But I will show love to the people of Judah. I will free them from their enemies— not with weapons and armies or horses and charioteers, but by my power as the Lord their God.”

The best equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you.But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.

“ Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying!It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle.It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword.The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash.It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows.It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.

Joab, Abishai, and Asahel— the three sons of Zeruiah— were among David’s forces that day. Asahel could run like a gazelle,and he began chasing Abner. He pursued him relentlessly, not stopping for anything.When Abner looked back and saw him coming, he called out,“ Is that you, Asahel?”“ Yes, it is,” he replied.“ Go fight someone else!” Abner warned.“ Take on one of the younger men, and strip him of his weapons.” But Asahel kept right on chasing Abner.Again Abner shouted to him,“ Get away from here! I don’t want to kill you. How could I ever face your brother Joab again?”But Asahel refused to turn back, so Abner thrust the butt end of his spear through Asahel’s stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He stumbled to the ground and died there. And everyone who came by that spot stopped and stood still when they saw Asahel lying there.

How beloved and gracious were Saul and Jonathan! They were together in life and in death. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
