Old Testament

New Testament

Amos 2:10-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

11. And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.

12. But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13. Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.

14. And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

15. neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;

16. and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.
