10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, you children of Israel? says Yahweh.
12 But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Don`t prophesy.
13 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presses that is full of sheaves.
14 Flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
16 and he who is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says Yahweh.
