American Standard Version
"And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself; "
— Amos 2:14, American Standard Version
“Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:”
“Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't 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.”
“And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.”
“And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:”
“Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:”
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.
But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
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.
