Amos 2:9-11

9Remember the Amorites. They were big and strong. They were like the tallest cedar trees and the strongest oak trees. But I destroyed all of them.

10I brought you out of Egypt. After that, I led you through the wilderness for 40 years. Then I took you to the land where the Amorites lived, so that it would belong to you.

11I chose some men among you to be prophets, and some to be Nazirites. You Israelites know that it is true.’ That is what the Lord says.
