13 Look, I am groaning beneath you,
    as a wagon groans when laden with sheaves.
14 Flight shall elude the swift,
    and the strong shall not retain strength;(A)
The warrior shall not save his life,
15     nor shall the archer stand his ground;

    nor shall the horseman save his life.
16 And the most stouthearted of warriors
    shall flee naked on that day—
    oracle of the Lord.

    will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
