Amos 2:9-11

Good News Translation

^9 (A)“And yet, my people, it was for your sake that I totally destroyed the Amorites, who were as tall as cedar trees and as strong as oaks. ¹⁰ I brought you out of Egypt, led you through the desert for forty years, and gave you the land of the Amorites to be your own. ^11 (B)I chose some of your sons to be prophets and some of your young men to be nazirites.^[a] Isn't this true, people of Israel? I, the Lord, have spoken.
