He who handles the bow won’t stand.
He who is swift of foot won’t escape.
He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Amos 2:15 in context
Amos 2:12–16
12
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13
Behold, I will crush you in your place,
as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14
Flight will perish from the swift.
The strong won’t strengthen his force.
The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15
Selected verse
He who handles the bow won’t stand.
He who is swift of foot won’t escape.
He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16
He who is courageous among the mighty
will flee away naked on that day,”
says the LORD.
