17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;

despite all its great strength it cannot save.

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 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.
