Amos 2:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹¹And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
and some of your youths to be nazirites.^[a]
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.

¹²But you made the nazirites^[b] drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

¹³So, I will press you down in your place,
just as a cart presses down
when it is full of sheaves.^[c]
