Amos 2:13-16
King James Version
Amos 2:13-16
King James Version
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 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.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.

Amos 2:13-16
New International Version
13 “Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(A)
14 The swift will not escape,(B)
the strong(C) will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.(D)
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)
16 Even the bravest warriors(H)
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.

New King James Version
13 “Behold,(A) I am [a]weighed down by you,
As a cart full of sheaves [b]is weighed down.
14 (B)Therefore [c]flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
(C)Nor shall the mighty [d]deliver himself;
15 He shall not stand who handles the bow,
The swift of foot shall not [e]escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
16 The most [f]courageous men of might
Shall flee naked in that day,”
Says the Lord.
