Amos 2:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ “But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them,
    who were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks—
I destroyed them completely.
¹⁰ It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt
    and led you for forty years through the desert
    so I could give you the land of the Amorites.
¹¹ I made some of your children to be prophets
    and some of your young people to be Nazirites.
People of Israel, isn’t this true?” says the Lord.
