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

快跑的不能逃脱；有力的不能用力；刚勇的也不能自救。

快跑的无从避难，壮士无法使力，勇士也不能自救；

快跑的无从避难，壮士无法使力，勇士也不能自救；

快捷的无法逃遁，强壮的无力可施，勇猛的救不了自己，

行动迅速的不能逃走，强而有力的不能施展他的勇力，勇士也不能救自己；

快跑的不能逃脫；有力的不能用力；剛勇的也不能自救。

快跑的無從避難，壯士無法使力，勇士也不能自救；

快跑的無從避難，壯士無法使力，勇士也不能自救；

快捷的無法逃遁，強壯的無力可施，勇猛的救不了自己，

行動迅速的不能逃走，強而有力的不能施展他的勇力，勇士也不能救自己；

輕快者逃走的路都斷絕，有大力的不能運用其力，剛勇的不能搭救自己；

疾趨者不得避所、強壯者不得施力、剛勇者不能自救、

疾趨者不得避難、強勁者其力廢弛、有能者不能自救、

疾趨者不得脫逃、強壯者不得施力、英武者英武者或作勇士不能自救、

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.

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;

Thus says the Lord:“ Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:“ Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, And break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.“ Though they dig into hell, From there my hand shall take them; Though they climb up to heaven, From there I will bring them down;And though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, From there I will search and take them; Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea, From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope— loss of life!”

And you said,“ No, for we will flee on horses”— Therefore you shall flee! And,“ We will ride on swift horses”— Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, At the threat of five you shall flee, Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain And as a banner on a hill.
