An affirmation of Jehovah. 12And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, `Do not prophecy!' 13Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf. 14And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul. 15And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not himself , And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul. 16And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of 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.
