11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O you children of Israel? says the LORD. 12 But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets that they should not prophesy. 13 Behold, I am weary under your burdens, as a cart creaks that is full of sheaves. 14 Therefore the power to run shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not possess his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself. 15 And he that handles the bow shall not stand; and he who is a fast runner shall not deliver himself; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself. 16 And he who is courageous like a mighty man shall flee away naked in that day, says the LORD.
