11.	'And I raised up some of your sons as prophets, and some of your young men as Nazirites. Not so? O you children of Yisra'el?' declares YHWH.
12.	'But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets saying, 'Do not prophesy!'
13.	'See, I am weighed down by you, as a wagon is weighed down when filled with sheaves.
14.	'And a place to flee shall perish from the swift, and the strong not strengthen his power, and the mighty not save his life,
15.	and he who handles the bow not stand, and the swift of foot not save, nor he who rides a horse save his life,
16.	and the bravest among the mighty flee naked, in that day,' declares YHWH.
