Amos 2:11-13
Amplified Bible
11
“Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets [who gave you My revelation],
And some of your young men to be Nazirites (dedicated ones).
Is this not true, O you children of Israel?” says the Lord.(A)
12
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink [despite their vows]
And commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy!’
13
“Behold, I am weighted down beneath you
As a cart that is weighted down when it is full of sheaves.
Amos 2:11-13

and Nazirites(B) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”

and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(C)
