Amos 2:16
flee . . . naked—If any escape, it must be with the loss of accoutrements, and all that would impede rapid flight. They must be content with saving their life alone.
14 aTherefore1 flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
bNor shall the mighty1 deliver himself;
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
bNor shall the mighty1 deliver himself;
15 He shall not stand who handles the bow,
The swift of foot shall not1 escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
The swift of foot shall not1 escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.
