Amos 2:9-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
9'Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Though his height was like the height of cedars And he was as strong as the oaks; I also destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. 10And it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the wilderness for forty years So that you might take possession of the land of the Amorite. 11Then I raised up some of your sons to be prophets, And some of your young men to be Nazirites. 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 shall not prophesy!’ 13Behold, I am making a rut in the ground beneath you, Just as a wagon makes a rut when filled with sheaves.King James Version
Chapter 2
9Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 10Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 11And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 12But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 13Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
9Yet 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. 10And I brought you from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness in order to possess the land of the Amorite.New Living Translation
Chapter 2
9'But as my people watched, I destroyed the Amorites, though they were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed the fruit on their branches and dug out their roots. 10It was I who rescued you from Egypt and led you through the desert for forty years, so you could possess the land of the Amorites. 11I chose some of your sons to be prophets and others to be Nazirites. Can you deny this, my people of Israel?' asks the Lord. 12'But you caused the Nazirites to sin by making them drink wine, and you commanded the prophets, ‘Shut up!’English Standard Version
