| 2:13 | Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf. |

| 2:16 | And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah! |
Young's Literal Translation 1862
Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text as the basis for his translation. He wrote in the preface to the first edition, "It has been no part of the Translator's plan to attempt to form a New Hebrew or Greek Text--he has therefore somewhat rigidly adhered to the received ones."
