Amos 2:11LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 11 of 16
"And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD."
In context
9Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height like the height of the cedars, and he strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
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. 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 full of sheaves.
