11 And I raysed vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your yong men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, sayth the Lorde? 12 But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie not. 13 Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues. 14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue his life. 15 Nor he that handleth the bowe, shal stand, and he that is swift of foote, shall not escape, neyther shall he that rideth the horse, saue his life. 16 And he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.
