Amos 2:14

2:14 Fast runners will find no place to hide; ¹ 

strong men will have no strength left; ² 

warriors will not be able to save their lives.

Amos 6:13

6:13 You are happy because you conquered Lo-Debar. ³ 

You say, “Did we not conquer Karnaim ⁴  by our own power?”

[2:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and a place of refuge will perish from the swift.”

[2:14]  ² tn Heb “the strong will not increase his strength.”

[6:13]  ³ tn Heb “those who rejoice over Lo-Debar.”

[6:13]  ⁴ sn Karnaim was also located across the Jordan River. The name in Hebrew means “double horned.” Since an animal’s horn was a symbol of strength (see Deut 33:17), the Israelites boasted in this victory over a town whose very name symbolized military power.
