14 (A)Refuge will be lost from the swift,
And the strong will not strengthen his power,
Nor the (B)warrior save his [a]life.
15 The one who (C)grasps the bow will not stand his ground,
The swift of foot will not escape,
Nor will the one who rides the (D)horse save his [b]life.
16 Even the [c]bravest among the warriors will (E)flee naked on that day,” declares the Lord.
