Amós 2:15

15 El que empuña el arco no resistirá, el ligero de pies no escapará, ni el que monta a 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 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.
