Amos 2:9-12
9“Yet it was I who destroyed the 1Amorite before them, 2Though his 3height was like the height of cedars And he was as strong as the oaks; I also destroyed his 4fruit above and his roots below.10And it was I who 5brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the wilderness for 6forty years So that you might take possession of the land of the 7Amorite.11Then I 8raised up some of your sons to be prophets, And some of your young men to be 9Nazirites. Is this not so, you sons of Israel?” declares the Lord.12“But you made the Nazirites drink wine, And you commanded the prophets, saying, ‘You 10shall not prophesy!’
