Parallel JER 12:5

BSB  ⇔ “If you have raced with men on foot
⇔ and they have worn you out,
⇔ how can you compete with horses?
 ⇔ If you stumble in a peaceful land,
⇔ how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?

OEB "If thy race with the footmen hath wearied thee,
⇔ How wilt thou vie with the horse?
 ⇔ If thou takest to flight in a land that is safe,
⇔ Then how wilt thou do on the jungle of Jordan?

WEB “If you have run with the footmen,
⇔ and they have wearied you,
⇔ then how can you contend with horses?
 ⇔ Though in a land of peace you are secure,
⇔ yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?

NET The Lord answered,
 ⇔ “If you have raced on foot against men and they have worn you out,
 ⇔ how will you be able to compete with horses?
 ⇔ And if you feel secure only in safe and open country,
 ⇔ how will you manage in the thick undergrowth along the Jordan River?

LSV “For you have run with footmen,
And they weary you,
And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace,
[In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?

FBV The Lord says,[fn] Once you've become worn out in a foot race against men, how would you win racing against horses? If you trip up in open ground, how would you do in the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan?

T4T Then to show me that I needed to be prepared to endure even greater difficulties, Yahweh said to me,
 ⇔ “It is as though you have become exhausted from racing against men;
⇔ so how will you be able to race against horses?
 ⇔ If you stumble and fall when you are running on open/bare/smooth ground,
⇔ what will happen to you when you are running through the thornbushes near the Jordan River?

LEB  • then how will you compete with horses? •  If you have fallen in[fn] •  then how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?

BBE 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?
