Amos 2:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 (A) Israel, the Amorites[a] were there
when you entered Canaan.
They were tall as cedars
and strong as oaks.
But I wiped them out—
I destroyed their branches
and their roots.
10 I had rescued you from Egypt,
and for forty years I had led you
through the desert.
Then I gave you the land
of the Amorites.
11 (B) I chose some of you
to be prophets
and others to be Nazirites.[b]
People of Israel,
you know this is true.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
Amos 2:9-11
New International Version
Amos 2:9-11
King James Version
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
