"Look! I will press you down, like a cart loaded down with grain presses down."

“Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.”
“Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves. ”
“Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.”
“Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.”
“See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.”
“Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.”
I brought you up from the land of Egypt; I led you through the wilderness for forty years so you could take the Amorites’ land as your own.
I made some of your sons prophets and some of your young men Nazirites. Is this not true, you Israelites?” The LORD is speaking!
“But you made the Nazirites drink wine; you commanded the prophets,‘Do not prophesy!’
Look! I will press you down, like a cart loaded down with grain presses down.
Fast runners will find no place to hide; strong men will have no strength left; warriors will not be able to save their lives.
Archers will not hold their ground; fast runners will not save their lives, nor will those who ride horses.
Bravehearted warriors will run away naked in that day.” The LORD is speaking!
