Amos 2:10-12

New English Translation

¹⁰ I brought you up from the land of Egypt;
I led you through the wilderness for forty years
so you could take the Amorites’ land as your own.
¹¹ I made some of your sons prophets
and some of your young men Nazirites.^[a]
Is this not true, you Israelites?”
The Lord is speaking.
¹² “But you made the Nazirites drink wine;^[b]
you commanded the prophets, ‘Do not prophesy!’
