10. "People of Israel, I brought you up out of Egypt. I led you in the desert for 40 years. I gave you the land of the Amorites.
11. I raised up prophets from among your children. I also set some of your young people apart to me as Nazirites. Isn't that true, people of Israel?" announces the Lord.
12. "But you made the Nazirites drink wine. You commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13. "A cart that is loaded with grain crushes anything it runs over. In the same way, I will crush you.
14. Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.
15. Men who are armed with bows will lose the battle. Soldiers who are quick on their feet will not escape. Horsemen will not be able to save their own lives.
16. Even your bravest soldiers will run away naked on that day," announces the Lord.
