Amos 2:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 I chose some men among you to be prophets, and some to be Nazirites.[a] You Israelites know that it is true.’ That is what the Lord says. 12 ‘But you told the Nazirites to drink wine, like everyone else. And you said to the prophets, “Do not speak messages from God.”
13 So I will punish you. A cart that has a heavy load pushes down on the ground. That is how I will push down on you.
