The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.

Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.

Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;

Your fastest runners will not get away. The strongest among you will become weak. Even mighty warriors will be unable to save themselves.

Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not maintain his strength, and the warrior will not save his life.

Refuge will be lost from the swift, And the strong will not strengthen his power, Nor the warrior save his life.

Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, The strong shall not strengthen his power, Nor 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;

Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not prevail by his strength, and the brave will not save his life.

Therefore the 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.

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

耶和華說：「智者不要誇耀自己的智慧，勇士不要誇耀自己的力量，富人不要誇耀自己的財富。

君王不能靠兵多取勝，勇士不能憑力大獲救。

我又發現，日光之下，跑得快的未必能得獎，強大的未必能得勝，智者未必得溫飽，聰明人未必有財富，博學者未必受愛戴，因為時機和境遇左右眾人。

我看見主站在祭壇旁，祂說：「要擊打柱頂，使殿的根基震動；要打碎柱頂，使殿宇坍塌壓死眾人。僥倖生還的，我要用刀劍殺掉，沒有一個能逃脫，沒有一個能倖免。即使他們挖洞鑽進陰間，我也要把他們揪出來；即使他們爬上高天，我也要把他們拉下來；即使他們藏在迦密山的峰頂，我也要去搜尋，捉住他們；即使他們潛到海底，我也要派海蛇去吞咬他們；

但惡人必眼目失明，無路可逃，他們的指望只有死亡。」

你們說，『不，我們要騎馬奔逃。』所以你們必奔逃。你們又說，『我們要騎快馬逃跑。』所以追趕你們的人必疾馳如飛。他們一人叱喝，必嚇得你們千人逃跑；他們五人叱喝，你們必全部逃跑，以致餘剩的人少得像山頂上的旗杆、高崗上的旗幟。」
