If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?

If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?

Εαν τρεξης μετα των πεζων και σε καμωσι να ατονησης, τοτε πως θελεις αντιπαραταχθη προς τους ιππους; και εαν απεκαμες εν τη γη της ειρηνης, εφ' ην ηλπιζες, τοτε πως θελεις καμει εις το φρυαγμα του Ιορδανου;

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
