Amos 2:16

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And [he that is] courageous among the mighty,.... Or "strong in his heart" ; one that is of a great heart, famous for courage and bravery, that excels in it among the mighty; the most valiant soldiers and officers:shall flee away naked in that day: shall throw away his armour, nay, put off his clothes, as being both a hinderance to him in his flight; and that he may make the better speed:saith the Lord: which is added to show the certainty of all this; it might be depended upon that so it would be, since the Lord God of truth had spoken it; and it was fulfilled about eighty years after this prophecy.
