Amos 2:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
and some of your youths to be nazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.(A)
12 But you made the nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets,
saying, “You shall not prophesy.”(B)
13 So, I will press you down in your place,
just as a cart presses down
when it is full of sheaves.[a](C)
