Is it not even thus, ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah. 12And ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 13Behold, I will press upon you, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves. 14And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul. 15Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and the swift of foot shall not escape, and he that rideth the horse shall not deliver his soul; 16and he that is stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah. ‹Previous chapterAmos 1Next chapterAmos 3›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsAmos 2 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
