10 I had rescued you from Egypt,and for forty years I had led youthrough the desert.Then I gave you the landof the Amorites.
11 I chose some of youto be prophetsand others to be Nazirites.People of Israel,you know this is true.I, the Lord, have spoken!
12 But you commanded the prophetsnot to speak their message,and you pressured the Naziritesinto drinking wine.
13 And so I will crush you,just as a wagon full of graincrushes the ground.
14 No matter how fast you run,you won't escape.No matter how strong you are,you will lose your strengthand your life.
15 Even if you are an expertwith a bow and arrow,you will retreat.And you won't get away alive,not even if you run fastor ride a horse.
