Amos 2:14

Judgment On Israel

¹³ “Behold, I am weighted down beneath you
As a wagon is weighted down when filled with sheaves.
¹⁴ “Flight will perish from the swift,
And the stalwart will not strengthen his power,
Nor the mighty man save his life.
¹⁵ “He who grasps the bow will not stand his ground,
The swift of foot will not escape,
Nor will he who rides the horse save his life.

And there will be no escape for them;
And their hope is to breathe their last.”

Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses,”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

Amos 9:1-3

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said,
“Smite the capitals so that the thresholds will shake,
And break them on the heads of them all!
Then I will slay the rest of them with the sword;
They will not have a fugitive who will flee,
Or a refugee who will escape.
