Amos 2:12
Verse 12 of 16. The 2nd of 9 chapters in Amos, in The Minor Prophets.
8They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10Also 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.
11I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
12“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
