Amos 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 ) .

Amos 2:15 In-Context

13 Siehe, ich will's unter euch knarren machen, wie ein Wagen voll Garben knarrt,
14 daß der, so schnell ist, soll nicht entfliehen noch der Starke etwas vermögen und der Mächtige nicht soll sein Leben retten können;
15 und die Bogenschützen sollen nicht bestehen, und der schnell laufen kann, soll nicht entlaufen, und der da reitet, soll sein Leben nicht erretten;
16 und der unter den Starken der mannhafteste ist, soll nackt entfliehen müssen zu der Zeit, spricht der HERR.
