nor shall he who handles the bow stand. And the swift-footed shall not save; and the horse rider shall not save his life.

And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:

Behold, the LORD is minded to smite the great houses, so that they shall decay: and the little houses, that they shall cleave asunder.

Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn it back: for their cleaving asunder those conceiving of Gilead to increase their bound.

By the sword shall all sinning of my people die, saying, It shall not draw near, and the evil shall not cleave about us.
