New King James Version

Amos 2:10-14 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. Also it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,And led you forty years through the wilderness,To possess the land of the Amorite.

11. I raised up some of your sons as prophets,And some of your young men as Nazirites.Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”Says the Lord.

12. “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,And commanded the prophets saying,‘Do not prophesy!’

13. “Behold, I am weighed down by you,As a cart full of sheaves is weighed down.

14. Therefore flight shall perish from the swift,The strong shall not strengthen his power,Nor shall the mighty deliver himself;
