Amos 2:9-11

9I destroyed the Amorites in front of them, although the Amorites were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed their fruit above the ground and their roots below it.

10I brought you out of Egypt. I led you through the desert for 40 years so that you could take possession of the land of the Amorites.

11I also sent you prophets from among your children and Nazirites from among your youths. Isn’t that so, people of Israel? The Lord has declared this.
