Amos 2:9-12

9 "Yet 1it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, 2whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks; 3I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.
10 4Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt 5and led you forty years in the wilderness, 6to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for 7Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" declares the LORD.
12 "But you made the Nazirites 8drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, 9'You shall not prophesy.'
