Amós 2:14

14 Y la huida le fallará al ligero, y el fuerte no fortalecerá su poder, ni el valiente salvará su vida.

Amós 2:14 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:14

Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift
They should be so straitened and cooped up, and be so loaded with pressures, that those, as swift of foot as Asahel, should not be able to make their escape by fleeing: and the strong shall not strengthen his force;
should not increase it, or muster it up, and exert it to such a degree, as to be able to defend and secure himself from the enemy: neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
"his soul" or "life"; a soldier, a man of war, an expert and courageous officer at the head of his troop, or even the general of the army; see ( Psalms 33:16 ) .

Amós 2:14 In-Context

12 Pero vosotros hicisteis beber vino a los nazareos, y a los profetas les ordenasteis, diciendo: No profeticéis.
13 He aquí, yo estoy oprimido debajo de vosotros como está oprimida una carreta llena de gavillas.
14 Y la huida le fallará al ligero, y el fuerte no fortalecerá su poder, ni el valiente salvará su vida.
15 El que empuña el arco no resistirá, el ligero de pies no escapará, ni el que monta a caballo salvará su vida.
16 Y aun el más intrépido entre los valientes huirá desnudo aquel díadeclara el SEÑOR.
