Amos2:14
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift o, and the strong shall not strengthen his force , neither shall the mighty deliver himself.
Because they first loaded God with their sins, and now he loads them with punishments, no way of escape shall be left:
Natural strength of body shall not deliver.
Such, though they might do more than weaker men, yet shall not save themselves, for they shall not know how to use their strength, they shall want courage to do it;
the valiant, and man of greatest courage shall not be able to deliver himself, his courage shall fail.
Not by swiftness of Foot flying from the Judgments, for their Enemies shall be swifter than they, Isa. 30.16.
