Amos 2:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 (A) I chose some of you
to be prophets
and others to be Nazirites.[a]
People of Israel,
you know this is true.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
12 But you commanded the prophets
not to speak their message,
and you pressured the Nazirites
into drinking wine.
13 And so I will crush you,
just as a wagon full of grain
crushes the ground.[b]
Amos 2:11-13
New International Version
11 “I also raised up prophets(A) from among your children
and Nazirites(B) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(C)
13 “Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(D)
