5. Formal Translation For if you have run with footmen and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a land of peace you are trusting, then how will you fare in the thicket of the Jordan? |
5. Dynamic Translation If racing against people on foot has tired you out, how will you manage competing with horses? And if you feel safe in a peaceful land, what will you do in the wild thickets along the Jordan River? |
