Amos 2:9-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. “But it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them.The Amorites were tall like cedar trees and as strong as oaks.But I destroyed them completely.

10. It was I who brought you from the land of Egypt.For 40 years I led you through the desert.I led you so I could give you the land of the Amorites.

11. I made some of your sons to be prophets.I made some of your young men to be Nazirites.People of Israel, isn’t this true?” says the Lord.

12. “But you made the Nazirites drink wine.You told the prophets not to prophesy my message.
