Amos 2:10–16
10Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.↗
11I 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, ‘Don’t prophesy!’↗
13Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.↗
14Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.↗
15He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.↗
16He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.↗
