Amós 2:15

15 Y el que toma el arco no estará en pie, ni escapará el ligero de pies, ni el que cabalga en caballo salvará su vida

Amós 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:15

Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow
That is, at some distance, and can make use of his instruments of war afar off; yet will not think it safe to stand his ground, but will betake himself to his heels as fast as he can to save himself: and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself];
this is repeated, lest any should place confidence in their agility, and to show how complete and inevitable the affliction will be: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;
by fleeing on horseback, no more than he that is on foot; no ways that can be devised or thought on would preserve from this general calamity; see ( Psalms 33:17 ) .

Amós 2:15 In-Context

13 Pues he aquí, yo os apretaré en vuestro lugar, como se aprieta el carro lleno de haces

14 y la huida perecerá del ligero, y el fuerte no esforzará su fuerza, ni el valiente librará su alma

15 Y el que toma el arco no estará en pie, ni escapará el ligero de pies, ni el que cabalga en caballo salvará su vida

16 El esforzado entre esforzados huirá desnudo aquel día, dijo el SEÑOR
