Amos 2:13
Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
Challoner: I will screakUnable to bear any longer the enormous load of your sins, etc. The spirit of God, as St. Jerome takes notice, accommodates himself to the education of the prophet and inspires him with comparisons taken from country affairs.

Haydock's commentary
I will screek. Unable to bear any longer the enormous load of your sins, &c. The Spirit of God, as St. Jerome takes notice, accommodates itself to the education of the prophet, and inspires him with encouragements taken from country affairs. (Challoner)
Septuagint, "I am overturned." Hebrew, "pressed." (Calmet)
