14Your fastest runners will not escape.
The strongest people will not get away.
Even soldiers will not be able
to save their own lives.
15Men who are armed with bows will lose the battle.
Soldiers who are quick on their feet will not escape.
Horsemen will not be able
to save their own lives.
16Even your bravest soldiers
will run away naked on that day,”
announces the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Flight shall perish from the swift,
and the strong shall not retain his strength,
nor shall the mighty save his life;
he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself,
nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord.

The swift will not escape,
the strong will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.

the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman will not save his life.
Even the bravest warriors
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Escape will fail the swift,
the strong one will not maintain his strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.
The archer will not stand his ground,
the one who is swift of foot
will not save himself,
and the one riding a horse will not save his life.
Even the most courageous of the warriors
will flee naked on that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration.

NLTNew Living Translation
Your fastest runners will not get away.
The strongest among you will become weak.
Even mighty warriors will be unable to save themselves.
The archers will not stand their ground.
The swiftest runners won’t be fast enough to escape.
Even those riding horses won’t be able to save themselves.
On that day the most courageous of your fighting men
will drop their weapons and run for their lives,”
says the Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Flight will perish from the swift and the strong person will not muster his strength and the warrior will not save his life. And the one who takes hold of the bow will not stand and the one who is swift on his feet will not save himself, nor will the one who rides the horse save his life. Even those who are strong of heart among the mighty will flee away naked from the city on that day. This is the declaration of Yahweh!”

KJV 1900King James Version
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift,
And the strong shall not strengthen his force,
Neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow;
And he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself:
Neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
And he that is courageous among the mighty
Shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
