13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
    as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 (A)Flight shall perish from the swift,
    (B)and the strong shall not retain his strength,
    (C)nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
    and he who is (D)swift of foot shall not save himself,
    (E)nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
    shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord.

15 The archer(E) will not stand his ground,
    the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
    and the horseman(F) will not save his life.(G)
