Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 2:16

16 And he that is couragious among the mighty , shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD .

All confirm'd under the seal of Heaven.

This verse is not a bare repetition of what he had said before, to confirm it, but he doth foretel an inevitable ruin to those who were the most likely to escape, and a most shameful manner of flight.
