"Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;"
— Amos 2:14, World English Bible
“Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither 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; ”
“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:”
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says Yahweh.
"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Don't prophesy!'
Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says Yahweh.
