New International Version (NIV)

14The swift will not escape,

the strong will not muster their strength,

and the warrior will not save his life.

14“Refuge will be lost from the swift,

And the strong will not strengthen his power,

Nor the warrior save his 2:14 Lit soullife.

14Flight will perish from the swift,

And the stalwart will not strengthen his power,

Nor the mighty man save his life.

14“Flight will be lost to the swift [so they will be unable to escape],

And the strong shall not strengthen nor maintain his power,

Nor shall the mighty man save his own life.

14Escape will fail the swift,

the strong will not prevail by his strength,

and the mighty will not save his life.

14Your fastest runners will not escape.

The strongest people will not get away.

Even soldiers will not be able

to save their own lives.
