Amós 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:16

And [he that is] courageous among the mighty
Or "strong in his heart" ^F2; one that is of a great heart, famous for courage and bravery, that excels in it among the mighty; the most valiant soldiers and officers: shall flee away naked in that day:
shall throw away his armour, nay, put off his clothes, as being both a hinderance to him in his flight; and that he may make the better speed: saith the Lord:
which is added to show the certainty of all this; it might be depended upon that so it would be, since the Lord God of truth had spoken it; and it was fulfilled about eighty years after this prophecy.

Amós 2:16 In-Context

14 Sus corredores más veloces no podrán escapar.
El más fuerte entre ustedes se volverá débil.
Ni siquiera los guerreros más poderosos serán capaces de salvarse.

15 Los arqueros no podrán mantenerse firmes.
Los más veloces no serán lo suficientemente rápidos para escapar.
Ni siquiera los que montan a caballo podrán salvarse.

16 En aquel día, los hombres de guerra más valientes
dejarán caer sus armas y correrán por sus vidas»,
dice el Señor
