Amos 2:10-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. 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 children of Israel?says the Lord.

12. But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, “Do not prophesy.”

13. Indeed I will slow you down,as a wagon is slowed that is full of sheaves.

14. Flight will perish from the swift,the strong will not retain his strength,nor will the warrior save his life.
