Amos 2:10

Judgment On Israel

⁹ Yet I destroyed the Amorite as Israel advanced;
his height was like the cedars,
and he was as sturdy as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.
¹⁰ And I brought you from the land of Egypt
and led you 40 years in the wilderness
in order to possess the land of the Amorite.
¹¹ I raised up some of your sons as prophets
and some of your young men as Nazirites.
Is this not the case, Israelites?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
