Amos 2:16

And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD. Shall flee away naked - In some cases the alarm shall be in the night; and even the most heroic shall start from his bed, and through terror not wait to put on his clothes.

Commentary on the Bible, by Adam Clarke [1831].
