Amos 2:11-16 ▼

11 “Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, And some of your young men to be Nazirites. Is this not so, you sons of Israel?” declares the LORD.

12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, And you commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy!’

13 “Behold, I am making a rut in the ground beneath you, Just as a wagon makes a rut when filled with sheaves.

14 “Refuge will be lost from the swift, And the strong will not strengthen his power, Nor the warrior save his life.

15 “The one who grasps the bow will not stand his ground, The swift of foot will not escape, Nor will the one who rides the horse save his life.

16 “Even the bravest among the warriors will flee naked on that day,” declares the LORD.
