Amos 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² But you made the nazirites^[a] drink wine,
    and commanded the prophets,
    saying, “You shall not prophesy.”

¹³ So, I will press you down in your place,
    just as a cart presses down
    when it is full of sheaves.^[b]
14 Flight shall perish from the swift,
    and the strong shall not retain their strength,
    nor shall the mighty save their lives;
