Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was as tall as cedar trees, and whose strength was as strong as oak trees. I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to lay claim to the land of the Amorite.

11 I raised up some of your children to be prophets and some of your youth to be nazirites. Isn't this so, people of Israel?

12 says the LORD. But you made the nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, "You won't prophesy."
