Amos 2:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹“But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them.
    The Amorites were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks.
But I destroyed them completely.
¹⁰It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt.
    For 40 years I led you through the desert.
    I led you so I could give you the land of the Amorites.
¹¹I made some of your sons to be prophets.
    I made some of your young men to be Nazirites.
People of Israel, isn’t this true?” says the Lord.
