14 (A)Therefore [a]flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
(B)Nor shall the mighty [b]deliver himself;
15 He shall not stand who handles the bow,
The swift of foot shall not [c]escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
16 The most [d]courageous men of might
Shall flee naked in that day,”
Says the Lord.
