That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
8

9
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose hight [was] like the hight of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10
Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
12
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13
Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.
14
Therefore the 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 that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
16
And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
