Amos 2:11-13
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

11 And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
    and some of your youths to be nazirites.[a]
    Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.

12 But you made the nazirites[b] drink wine,
    and commanded the prophets,
    saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

13 So, I will press you down in your place,
    just as a cart presses down
    when it is full of sheaves.[c]
