Amos 2:12-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

13. Look! I am going to press you down in your place just as a utility cart full of mature stalks of grain is pressed down.

14. Flight will perish from the swift and the strong person will not muster his strength and the warrior will not save his life.

15. And the one who takes hold of the bow will not stand and the one who is swift on his feet will not save himself, nor will the one who rides the horse save his life.

16. Even those who are strong of heart among the mighty will flee away naked from the city on that day. This is the declaration of Yahweh!”
