Amos 2:11

Judgment On Israel

¹⁰ I brought you out of the land of Egypt. I led you forty years in the desert wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. ¹¹ “Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets
And some of your young men to be Nazirites.
Is this not so, O sons of Israel?” declares the Lord.
¹² But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying: 'Do Not Prophesy!'
