Amos 2:11-16 ▼

11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?| says the LORD.

12 |But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'

13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,| says the LORD.
