AMOS Analysis 2:16

Walk through Amos, verse by verse, with the great Bible Commentaries of Matthew Henry (1662 - 1714) & Adam Clarke (1760 - 1832)


2:16


And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
KJV


{and a strong man of heart shall flee naked among strong men in that day, saith the Lord.} Wycliffe's Bible


Shall flee away naked - In some cases the alarm shall be in the night; and even the most heroic shall start from his bed, and through terror not wait to put on his clothes.
It will be in vain to think of fighting it out. God is at war with them; and are they stronger than he? Is there any military force that can pretend to be a match for Omnipotence?
