Therefore the flight {H4498} shall perish {H6} from the swift {H7031}, and the strong {H2389} shall not strengthen {H553} his force {H3581}, neither shall the mighty {H1368} deliver {H4422} himself {H5315}:

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

And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
