Amos 2:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ And I raised up some of your sons for prophets and some of your young men for dedicated ones [Nazirites]. Is this not true, O you children of Israel? says the Lord.^(A)

¹² But you gave the dedicated ones [the Nazirites] wine to drink and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

¹³ Behold, I am pressed under you and I will press you down in your place as a cart presses that is full of sheaves.
