Amos 2:12

King James Version

But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

Amos 2:12KJV

Amos 2:12 in context

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

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

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

13Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

14Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

Let justice roll — a shepherd-prophet's cry against empty religion and injustice.
