⁹ Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
    whose height was like the height of cedars,
    and who was as strong as oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above,
    and his roots beneath.
¹⁰ Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
    and led you for forty years in the wilderness,
    to possess the land of the Amorite.
¹¹ And I raised up some of your children to be prophets
    and some of your youths to be nazirites.^[a]
    Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?
says the Lord.
