Amos 2:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 I raised up some of your sons to be prophets,
and some of your best young men to be Nazirites.
Is this not so, you people of Israel? declares the Lord.
12 But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
and you commanded the prophets, “You must not prophesy!”
13 Look, I am weighed down under you,
just as a cart is weighed down when it is loaded with sheaves of grain.[a]
