And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;
and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.
