They lie down (A)by every altar on clothes (B)taken in pledge,
And drink the wine of [a]the condemned in the house of their god.

“Yet it was I who destroyed the (C)Amorite before them,
Whose height was like the (D)height of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I (E)destroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
10 Also it was (F)I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,
And (G)led you forty years through the wilderness,
To possess the land of the Amorite.
