Amos 2:14
Print
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;
“Flight will be lost to the swift [so they will be unable to escape], And the strong shall not strengthen nor maintain his power, Nor shall the mighty man save his own life.
And flight shall be lost to the swift and refuge shall fail him; the strong shall not retain and confirm his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself.
Therefore the 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 maintain his strength, and the warrior will not save his life.
Fast runners will find no refuge; the strong will lose their strength; the mighty will be unable to save their lives.
Even the swift won’t be able to flee; the strong won’t be able to use their strength, the warriors won’t save themselves.
No matter how fast you run, you won't escape. No matter how strong you are, you will lose your strength and your life.
And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul.
And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
No one will escape, not even the fastest runner. Strong men will not be strong enough. Soldiers will not be able to save themselves.
You might try to run away. But nobody will get free. Even the fastest runner will not get free. The strong people will not be strong enough to stop me. The soldiers will not be able to save their lives.
There will be no escape for the swift runner. The powerful man will not be able to exert his strength, and the strong warrior will not be able to save his own life.
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
No one will ·escape [find refuge], not even the fastest runner. Strong people will not be strong enough; warriors will not be able to save themselves.
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty save his life.
Runners will not be able to escape. Strong men will find that their strength is useless. Soldiers will not be able to save themselves.
Not even fast runners will escape; strong men will lose their strength, and soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.
Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not prevail by his strength, and the brave will not save his life.
No one will escape, not even the fastest runner. Strong men will not be strong enough. Warriors will not be able to save themselves.
So the swift runner will not escape, the valiant will not fortify his strength, and the mighty warrior 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 his soul:
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
So flight will perish from the swift, And the strong will not instill his power with courage, Nor will the mighty man make his life escape.
Flight will perish from the swift and the strong person will not muster his strength and the warrior will not save his life.
Your swiftest warriors will stumble in flight. The strong will all be weak, and the great ones can no longer save themselves.
“When I go into action, what will you do? There’s no place to run no matter how fast you run. The strength of the strong won’t count. Fighters won’t make it. Skilled archers won’t make it. Fast runners won’t make it. Chariot drivers won’t make it. Even the bravest of all your warriors Won’t make it. He’ll run off for dear life, stripped naked.” God’s Decree.
Flight will perish from the swift, the strong will not retain his strength, nor will the warrior save his life.
Runners will not be able to escape. Strong men will find that their strength is useless. Soldiers will not be able to save themselves.
Flight shall elude the swift, and the strong shall not retain strength; The warrior shall 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.
“Flight will perish from the swift, And the stalwart will not strengthen his power, Nor the mighty man save his life.
The swift will be unable to take flight; the strong man will not retain his strength, and the warrior will be unable to save his life.
No one will escape, not even the fastest runner. Strong people will not be strong enough; warriors will not be able to save themselves.
Fast runners will find no place to hide; strong men will have no strength left; warriors will not be able to save their lives.
Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.
The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.
The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.
Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, The strong shall not strengthen his power, Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;
Even the fast man will not get away. The strong man will not keep his strength. And the powerful man will not 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.
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain their strength, nor shall the mighty save their lives;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain their strength, nor shall the mighty save their lives;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain their strength, nor shall the mighty save their lives;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain their strength, nor shall the mighty save their lives;
Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, and the chazak shall not strengthen his ko’ach, neither shall the gibbor deliver his own nefesh;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
Then flight will fail for the swift. The mighty will not strengthen his power, The warrior will not save his life.
The swift will lose their speed; there will be no escape; the strong will lose his strength; the warrior will not survive the battle;
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
And flight shall perish from a swift man, and a strong man shall not hold his strength, and a stalworthy man shall not save his life; (And the swift shall not be able to escape, and a strong man shall not be able to hold onto his own strength, and a stalwart man, or a warrior, shall not be able to save his own life;)
And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.
