Amos 2:11-13
International Standard Version
11 I also raised up your sons to be prophets,
and from your young men I raised up Nazirites.[a]
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you forced the Nazirites to drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
‘You are not to prophesy!’
13 “Oh, how I am burdened down with you,
as a wagon is overloaded with harvested grain!
