Amos 2:9-12
9“Yet it was I who destroyedH8045 the 1AmoriteH567 beforeH4480H6440 them, 2Though his 3heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of cedarsH730 And he was as strongH2634 as the oaksH437; I also destroyedH8045 his 4fruitH6529 aboveH4480H4605 and his rootsH8328 belowH4480H8478.10And it was I who 5broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, And ledH1980 you in the wildernessH4057 for 6fortyH705 yearsH8141 So that you might takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 of the 7AmoriteH567.11Then I 8raisedH6965 upH6965 someH4480 of your sonsH1121 to be prophetsH5030, And someH4480 of your youngH970 menH970 to be 9NaziritesH5139. Is thisH2088 not soH637, you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.12“But you madeH8248 the NaziritesH5139 drinkH8248 wineH3196, And you commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ‘You 10shall not prophesyH5012!’
