Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 2:15

15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow , and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself , neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

Though at distance from the Enemies, yet shall not dare to keep his place.

Much used in the Wars of those times, and used by strong and valiant men, but now both strength and valour should fail, Israels bow-men.

This is the same, and explains that in the 14th verse let. o.

Here the Prophet foretels that the swiftness of the Horse which some will make use of shall as little avail, nor his strength joyn'd with his speed shall deliver the Rider; Neither the strength of the Horse shall carry him through, nor his swiftness carry him away from the hand of the pursuer.
