Amos 2:13-16

Listen to Amos 2:13-16
13 Siehe, ich werde euch niederdrücken, wie der Wagen drückt, der voll Garben ist.
14 Und dem Schnellen wird die Flucht entschwinden; und der Starke wird seine Kraft nicht befestigen, und der Held sein Leben nicht erretten;
15 und der den Bogen führt, wird nicht standhalten; und der Schnellfüßige wird nicht entrinnen, und der auf dem Rosse reitet sein Leben nicht erretten;
16 und der Beherzteste unter den Helden wird nackt entfliehen an jenem Tage, spricht Jehova.

Amos 2:13-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 2

In this chapter the prophet foretells the calamities that should come upon the Moabites for their transgressions, Am 2:1-3; and the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem for their iniquities, Am 2:4,5; also the judgments of God that should come upon Israel the ten tribes for their sins, which sins are enumerated; their oppression of the poor, their lewdness and idolatry, Am 2:6-8; and which are aggravated by the blessings of goodness bestowed upon them, both temporal and spiritual, Am 2:9-12; wherefore they are threatened with ruin, which would be inevitable, notwithstanding their swiftness, strength, and courage, and their skill in shooting arrows, and riding horses, Am 2:13-16.
