17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,

and by its great might it cannot rescue.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety:

Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—

for all its strength, it cannot save you.

17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;

Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

17 Horses can’t bring victory;

they can’t save by their strength.

17 A horse is a vain thing for safety;

Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.

17 Horses are not a guarantee for victory. 

Their great strength cannot help someone escape. 

17 The horse is a false hope for safety;

it provides no escape by its great power.

17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,

and by its great might it cannot save.

17 The horse is a false hope for victory,

nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

17 People can’t trust a horse to save them either.

Though it is very strong, it can’t save them.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory;

Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
