Amos 2:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Yet I destroyed the Amorite^(A) as Israel advanced;
his height^(B) was like the cedars,
and he was as sturdy as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit^(C) above and his roots beneath.
¹⁰ And I brought you from the land of Egypt^(D)
and led you 40 years in the wilderness^(E)
in order to possess the land of the Amorite.^(F)
11 I raised up some of your sons as prophets^(G)
and some of your young men as Nazirites.^(H)
Is this not the case, Israelites?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
