11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, And of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? Saith the LORD. 12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; And commanded the prophets, saying: 'Prophesy not.' 13 Behold, I will make it creak under you, As a cart creaketh that is full of sheaves. 14 And flight shall fail the swift, And the strong shall not exert his strength, Neither shall the mighty deliver himself; 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; 16 And he that is courageous among the mighty Shall flee away naked in that day, Saith the LORD.
