12 Mais vous avez fait boire du vin aux nazariens, et vous avez fait défense aux prophètes, disant: Ne prophétisez pas!

Amos 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:12

But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink
Contrary to their vow and calling, and in contempt of it, and to make them like themselves; they either persuaded them, or forced them to it: and commanded the prophets, saying, prophesy not;
hard and heavy things, judgments and denunciations of vengeance, only smooth things; by this authoritative language it appears that this is said of the rulers and governors of the people, as king, princes, and priests; see ( Amos 7:12 Amos 7:13 ) .

12 Mais vous avez fait boire du vin aux nazariens, et vous avez fait défense aux prophètes, disant: Ne prophétisez pas!
13 Voici, je vais vous fouler, comme foule un char plein de gerbes;
14 L'homme agile ne pourra fuir, le fort ne trouvera pas sa force, et l'homme vaillant ne sauvera point sa vie;
