Amós 2:13-16

13 »Pues bien, estoy por aplastarlos a ustedescomo aplasta una carreta cargada de trigo.

14 Entonces no habrá escapatoria para el ágil,ni el fuerte podrá valerse de su fuerza,ni el valiente librará su vida.

15 El arquero no resistirá,ni escapará con vida el ágil de piernas,ni se salvará el que monta a caballo.

16 En aquel día huirá desnudoaun el más valiente de los guerreros»,afirma el SEÑOR.

Amós 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.
